At the September 2023 regular Board meeting, 决定从1998年(及更早)起取消所有资本信贷。, 总共7美元.100万年. All refunds will be distributed by the end of January 2024.
We’ve been getting power from G.V.E.A. since 1983 and receiving capital credits for the past 13 years. 这在抵消我们每年的电费方面真的很有帮助，我们很感激在每月电费较高的冬季获得积分. We are proud members of the G.V.E.A. 鸡笼!” -Jane Gibson, GVEA member for 38 years.

资本信用 Frequently Asked Questions
因为GVEA是一个合作社，由其成员所有，严格来说它并不盈利. Instead, if revenues exceed the cost of doing business (i.e. expenses), the co-op has earned “margins.” Each year that margins are earned, GVEA members are allocated a portion of the margins, 这些费用与每位会员当年购买的电量成比例. These portions are called capital credits.
The 2 most common reasons are:
- The account was only in a roommate’s or a former spouse’s name; refunds are issued to the individual whose name(s) is on the account for that particular year’s refund.
- You lived in the core of downtown Fairbanks, which was still served by the City of Fairbanks until 1997

是的，只要我们有准确的邮寄地址，我们就会给您退款.
Think of the capital credits allocation like a savings bond. Similar to how a savings bond is a loan to the U.S. Department of Treasury to help reduce our government’s borrowing needs, GVEA资本信贷有助于减少我们合作社在建设变电站或更换电线杆或线路等项目上的借款需求. And just like how a savings bond matures after a period of time, 资本抵免将在25年后退休并退还给您.
资本信贷退款通常在分配25年后由董事会发放或“退休”.
分配的资本贷记额是分配给在赚取利润的一年内收取mg冰球突破豪华版下载费用的每个成员的金额. While the credits are assigned to members, 这些钱由合作社保留一段时间——25年——并作为资本使用, which reduces GVEA’s need to borrow money. Allocated capital credits reflect your ownership in GVEA. 当资本抵免最终取消时，GVEA将发放退款.
In a year when GVEA earns margins, 分配给你的资本信用额度是基于你在那一年的电费账单总额. 你购买的电力越多，你的资本信用分配就越大. 你一年内每月账单的总和乘以一个百分比，以确定你的资本信贷分配. 这一比例每年都在变化，取决于某一年的利润率. GVEA每年向我们的会员发出分配信，通知他们上一年的利润份额.
拥有多个帐户(在不同地区)的会员将收到每个帐户的单独资金分配通知. 然而, if there are more than 6 accounts under one membership name, 会员将收到一份附有帐户及金额的通知.
对于住宅用电账户，资本抵免一般不征税. For businesses (which includes rentals), according to Internal Revenue Service guidelines, 收到超过600美元资本信贷支票的成员需要填写IRS W-9表格(PDF). 我们建议就具体问题向税务专业人士咨询.
No. Allocated capital credits may not be used to pay current bills. Your electric bill is due now, 然而，你的资本信贷分配可能不会退休很多年.
您在GVEA未支付的未连接账户的退款金额将会减少.
No. 资本贷记是根据会员全年的账单总额计算的. 如果你收取了一个月的mg冰球突破豪华版下载费用，而GVEA在那一年里赚取了利润, you will have accumulated some capital credits.
Active members should receive an allocation notice annually.
分配给已故成员的资金抵免退款可在一般退休后发出. 然而, these estate payments are not automatic. 遗产代表必须提供要求退款的人已获法院委任的证明, executor or administrator of the estate (e.g. 委任个人代表的信件、遗嘱或陈述书), along with a copy of the death certificate. A refund check will be issued to the estate. 退还的金额将减少，以反映资本抵免的提前退休.
The refund or “retirement” of capital credits is not automatic. GVEA董事会必须在考虑对合作社的财务影响后，特别授权资本信贷的退休. Capital credits earned through 1992, 加上2016年的25%, are among the latest capital credits retired in December 2017. 退款金额在100美元或以下的活跃会员在他们的账单上获得了信用. 支票被邮寄给退款超过100美元的活跃和非活跃会员. For non-active members, 然而, checks are not issued for less than $25, 或者五年, whichever occurs first. 强烈建议非活跃会员在GVEA存档中保留当前的邮寄地址.
如果您终止您的会员资格，您有资格获得提前折扣的资本信用退款. 然而, if you choose to wait for your full refund, 强烈建议您在GVEA存档中保留当前地址.
