Good news for our members

Yes! It’s real! Mem­bers who received pow­er from York Elec­tric Coop­er­a­tive between Jan­u­ary 1, 2007, and Jan­u­ary 31, 2020, may receive a bill cred­it on either their Feb­ru­ary or March 2024 bill. The cred­its (for amounts less than $25) and checks (for amounts $25 or greater) are the result of the set­tle­ment of a class-action law­suit involv­ing the failed nuclear con­struc­tion project at V.C. Sum­mer Nuclear Gen­er­at­ing Sta­tion in Fair­field Coun­ty.

The funds are being paid by San­tee Coop­er, which owned the project along with SCE&G (now Domin­ion Ener­gy). YEC did not own the project. How­ev­er, because we buy from San­tee Coop­er some of the pow­er we deliv­er to our mem­bers, some mem­bers may be due bill cred­its or pay­ments. Your coop­er­a­tive did not cal­cu­late the pay­ments. They result­ed from a court-approved process after a set­tle­ment agree­ment was reached between the par­ties in the class-action law­suit.
