Membership Eligibility
and Requirements

All households, organizations, and businesses located in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania who consume the types of energy services provided by programs of The Energy Cooperative are eligible to become members. 

To become a member, a household, organization, or business must do both of the following:

  • Enroll for service in at least one Energy Co-op program.

  • Pay the annual membership dues or request a dues waiver.

    We do not require members to do any work as a part of their membership, but participation as a board member may be possible for those who are interested.  Attendance at our annual membership meeting (or voting by absentee ballot) is strongly encouraged.

    One member = One vote. 
    One household, organization, or business/landlord membership covers:

  • A single location signed up for more than one type of service i.e. heating oil and electricity.

  • A single location with multiple electricity accounts or oil tanks.

  • One household membership may include multiple service locations if one representative is managing the services for multiple locations, such as for a family member at a different location or a second home.

  • One organization or business/landlord membership may include multiple offices or rental properties if the services at all locations are managed by the same company/landlord. 

A personal residence of an organization or business representative is not covered by the organization or business's membership and does require a separate household membership.

Annual Membership Dues

Households - $15
Organizations - $30

Businesses/Landlords - $30

Dues Waivers

Anyone experiencing financial constraints at the time of enrollment or renewal may request a dues waiver. We require no explanation of the financial constraint, or proof of income/operating budget.
