As a not-for-profit, member-owned cooperative, Florida Keys Electric Cooperative calculates our annual margins by taking the total revenue and subtracting all operating costs. The resulting margins are then allocated to each member based on their patronage, which is the amount of electricity he or she purchased during that year in proportion to the total amount purchased by all members. Once these margins are allocated, they are called Member Capital Credits.

How Capital Credits Work
Like all electric co-ops, FKEC operates at a cost, returning any excess revenues to our members in the form of Member Capital Credits.
Like other electric co-ops, FKEC retains its Member Capital Credits for a number of years to invest in improvements and maintain the electric system. This also helps to offset the amount of money the co-op borrows, which lowers the rates on your electric bill.
Based on cumulative returns, FKEC ranks first among Florida’s 16 electric cooperatives and is in the top 10% among the nation’s 900+ electric cooperatives.
