Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
The corporation ceased its telecommunications operations effective july 31, 2025 by transferring title to certain fiber related inventory and customer premises equipment in exchange for an installment note from encore connects (encore), a 501c3 organization.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
To provide the best possible electric service to all who desire it within the system area at a reasonable cost consistent with the highest standards of service.

The 2 programs described on its FY2025 Form 990, listed largest first by expense. Program spending in total: $67,519,462.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $148M to $193M (+30%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.
