Credits will appear on December 2025 bills
Central Texas Electric Cooperative annually allocates margins (funds remaining after expenses have been paid) to capital credits accounts based on consumers’ share of the revenue that was generated during the previous year.
This capital allows CTEC to finance operations and construction projects as well as power restoration after outages, with the intent that this money will be repaid in later years when the cooperative is financially able to do so. Since 1965, CTEC has returned more than $31 million in capital credits to its members.
This year, CTEC will retire more than $2.24 million to members in December. The retirement process established by the co-op’s bylaws returns capital credits to all co-op members, and emphasizes payout of the oldest unretired capital credits.
The process also returns a larger share to those members who have paid larger bills and contributed more capital over the years.
Active members currently receiving electric service from CTEC will have their 2025 capital credits return applied as a credit on their December bill. Inactive members who are entitled to a return of $10 or more will be mailed a check. To save postage and processing fees on inactive accounts, returns of less than $10 will accumulate from year to year until the minimum $10 amount is reached.
Capital credits returns cannot be successfully delivered to members if the co-op is not kept abreast of address changes, so CTEC asks members to ensure all contact information is kept current.
Members with questions about capital credits can visit CTEC’s website, ctec.coop, or call 830- 997-2126 or 1-800-900-2832.
