BLUEBONNET ELECTRIC RETURNING $11.9 MILLION TO CUSTOMERS

  

Bluebonnet Electric Cooperative announced that they will be returning $11.9 million in capital credits in 2026, an increase of $778,000 over last year.

Bluebonnet’s members will see a reduction on their May electric bill as a result of the capital credits approved by the Board of Directors during its April meeting.

Bluebonnet General Manager Matt Bentke explained that their successful financial management and the extraordinary growth in their service area enabled them to return record amounts in capital credits to their members during the past several years.  

The amount each member-owner gets back depends on how much electricity they used in previous years through 2025 and how long they have been a Bluebonnet member.

Current members will see a credit on their May electric bill for their share of this year’s capital credits retirement. Former members who are still owed a capital credit will be mailed a check beginning in May.

During the past 10 years, Bluebonnet has returned $78.59 million to members in capital credits.
