Paying It Forward

Southwest Electric is proud to join hundreds of other cooperatives around the country in offering our own energy assistance program. Our Members Paying It Forward program enables Members to support other Members over the age of 50 needing assistance to pay their electric utility bills.

The program rounds-up a Member’s monthly bills to the nearest whole dollar. For example, $132.16 + $0.84 = $133.00. A line will be added to your bill, so you can see how much you are Paying It Forward.

Southwest Electric employees are Paying It Forward by donating to the program through their paychecks. To date, Members and employees have contributed $13,500.25 to this program and have helped 37 qualifying Members between the ages of 52 to 85.
