Membership
Nespelem Valley Electric Cooperative (NVEC) is a non- profit member cooperative serving approximately 1,500 homes, farms and businesses throughout Okanogan County. We sell power only to the members of our cooperative. To become a member you must sign an application in which you agree to be bound by the rules and regulations of NVEC.
Under current regulations, you are required to pay a $225 membership fee, of which $200 is applied to your account after one year of payments made in full and by the due date each month. If you decide to leave the co-op, $5 will be refunded to you as well. The remaining $20 is an account set up fee and is non-refundable. If a person has more than one account, only one membership fee is required.

Rates & Line Extensions
Residential service costs are a $15 Facility Charge per month plus .063 cents per kWh used.
NVEC contributes the first 83 feet for any single phase, residential line extension. The member is responsible for the rest of the cost of any additional new line extension at $18 per foot. Security lights are $350 to install and $6 per month thereafter.
Three phase loads--such as commercial and irrigation accounts--are calculated on a case-by-case basis. Contact our office to determine rates and line extension charges that would apply to your electric service needs.
