orthern Neck Electric
Cooperative is making a
capital credit refund to
members and your refund is being
credited to your July bill. You will notice
a line item on your bill this month,
“Capital Credit Refund,” with your share
of this year’s refund shown as a credit
that is subtracted from the total amount
due for July. President and CEO Greg
White remarked, “Retiring capital
credits to members is one of our key
cooperative principles at Northern Neck
Electric Cooperative. Due to the
favorable financial position, the NNEC
board has decided to retire $500,000 in
its general retirement of capital credits
this year. In the midst of difficult times,
it is encouraging for your Cooperative
to be in a financial position to allocate
this refund.”

issuing checks saves the cost of checks,
envelopes, postage and handling. You
benefit immediately by having your
share of the refund credited to your bill
and subtracting the costs of providing
electric service for that month. These
margins are allocated back to
Cooperative members in the form of
capital credits, based on the total of the
members’ electric bills for the year.
Your member-owned electric
cooperative provides at-cost service to its
members. The Cooperative’s year-end
margins (referred to as “profits” by
investor-owned utilities and other
companies) are determined by taking
the amount of money the Cooperative
receives from its members during the
year and subtracting the costs of
providing electric service during that year.

Celebrating
Co-op
Independence
July is the time we celebrate our
nation’s independence. In the
midst of apple pies and hot dogs,
fireworks shows and parades,
we can’t help but think about the
independent streak that inspired
groups of farmers around
America’s countryside to band
together and improve their quality
of life.
Aside from President Franklin
Roosevelt’s promise of federal aid
in the form of low-interest loans
and engineering expertise, rural
Americans didn’t have much help
in bringing electricity to their
homes. They pulled themselves up
by their proverbial bootstraps and
did it themselves.
This independence not only
tends to inspire cooperatives; it’s a
guiding principle. The Fourth
Cooperative Principle, “Autonomy
and Independence,” means that
no matter what contracts Northern
Neck Electric Cooperative (NNEC)
might enter into, it will always
remain an independent entity.
Each year, NNEC’s annual
meeting becomes an independence
celebration. You vote for
candidates on the board of
directors, and we discuss co-op
business. We share a meal and
have some fun.
Electric cooperatives form a
vast network across the country,
from coast to coast. Co-op lines
are strung in 47 states, serving
42 million people — a different
world from 1935, when much of
America remained dark. This
Fourth of July, as we recognize the
hard-fought war that created the
United States, we’ll also tip our
hats to NNEC founders, who beat
incredible odds to make life better
for themselves and their neighbors.

Two Area High School Seniors
Earn Electric Co-op College Scholarships
T
wo high school seniors from the
Northern Neck have received
scholarships awarded by the
Educational Scholarship Foundation of
the Virginia, Maryland & Delaware
Association of Electric Cooperatives
(VMDAEC).
The following students received
VMDAEC scholarships:
Hannah Morgan,
a graduate of King
George High School,
has earned a
Worth M. Hudson
Scholarship in the
amount of $1,000.
Megan Parker,
a graduate of
Rappahannock High
School, has earned a
Worth M. Hudson
Scholarship in the
amount of $1,000.
The scholarships were awarded based
on a competitive screening process, with
eligibility for consideration because their
families are members of Northern Neck
Electric Cooperative. Applicants must be
entering their first semester of college,
technical or trade school in the autumn
of 2013.
This year, the VMDAEC Educational
Scholarship Foundation received 212
applications from students in areas
served by electric cooperatives in
Virginia, Maryland and Delaware. The
Foundation is awarding 48 Worth M.
Hudson Scholarships in the amount of
$1,000 each and two C.D Hypes
Memorial Scholarships in the amount of
$1,000 each to a total of 50 high school
seniors. Recipients were chosen based
on financial need (40 percent), academic
achievement (40 percent) and a personal
statement (20 percent).
The Foundation is funded through
tax-deductible donations from
individuals and VMDAEC cooperatives
and proceeds from the Spring Round-Up
Golf Tournament. The Worth M.
Hudson Scholarships are named in
honor of the first chair of the VMDAEC
Educational Scholarship Foundation
and former chair of the board of
Mecklenburg Electric Cooperative in
Chase City, Va.
“We were able to award more $1,000
scholarships than last year thanks to
donations from several VMDAEC
member cooperatives that were matched
by CoBank through their ‘Sharing
Success’ Program,” said Roberta
Harlowe, chair of VMDAEC’s
Educational Services Committee who
serves on the board of Central Virginia
Electric Cooperative.
CoBank is a national cooperative
bank that provides loans and other
financial services to rural power, water
and communications providers in all
50 states.
Since its inception in 2001, the
Foundation has awarded 409 electric
cooperative scholarships totaling
$308,500. The number of scholarships
awarded each year is based upon funds
available and these grants can be used to
pay for tuition, fees and books.

SAFETY CORNER
W
hen the weather gets hot, we
head outdoors for sun and fun.
Keep in mind some tips from the
Electrical Safety Foundation International to
make sure everyone has a safe summer.
Water and electricity don’t mix
Summer is the season for swimming and
boating, and awareness of electrical hazards
around water can prevent deaths and
injuries. Water and electricity don’t mix.
• Sailboats often have masts of 30 feet or
more, which are dangerous when they
come into contact with overhead power
lines. Look up as you get close to shore,
and stay at least 10 feet away from
overhead lines. Coming into contact with
an energized power line causes serious and
sometimes lethal electric shock.
• Use covers on outdoor power outlets,
especially near swimming pools. Keep
cords and electrical devices away from the
water, and never handle electrical items
before you’ve dried off.
• Use a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) to help prevent electrocutions and
electrical shock injuries. These devices
interrupt the flow of power when they
sense a surge. Portable GFCIs require no
tools to install and are available at prices
ranging from $12 to $30.
Lightning and storms
Lightning strikes are fatal in 10 percent of
victims, and 70 percent suffer serious longterm effects, according to the National
Weather Service. Because lightning can travel
sideways for up to 10 miles, blue skies are
not a sign of safety. If you hear thunder,
take cover.
• If weather conditions indicate a storm,
stay inside — away from doors and
windows — or seek shelter in a low-lying
area away from trees and any metal,
including sheds, clotheslines, poles, and
fences. If you’re near water, stay as far
away as possible.

SUMMER SAFETY TIPS
As kids — and adults — head outdoors for
fun in the sun, make sure your loved ones
know safety basics about taking cover
during storms, and keeping water and
electricity far away from each other.
• If you’re in a group, spread out — don’t
stand close together.
• Indoors, unplug electronics before the
storm arrives, and don’t use corded phones.

Tips to Save Energy and
Keep Cool This Summer
Raise your thermostat to 78°. If you are away from home for more than eight hours,
raise the thermostat setting and you can expect to see up to a 3 percent savings on cooling
costs for each degree of setback. This is the number one way to conserve energy. This will reduce
the amount of energy used to cool your home while you’re away. You can learn more about your
thermostat online by visiting the U.S. Department of Energy website.
Keep shades closed when the air conditioner is on. Sunny windows account for 40 percent of
unwanted heat and can make your air conditioner work two to three times harder.
Check and clean filters. Cleaning and replacing air-conditioning filters monthly allows the system
to run more efficiently.
Clear attic vents. If the home has an attic fan, make sure it is functioning properly.
Install ceiling fans and make sure they are blowing down. Don’t underestimate the
importance of ceiling fans. Moving air over the body provides a cooling effect. The use of ceiling fans
can mean savings of around 25 percent on cooling costs and can make the temperature seem 10
degrees cooler. Most fans have a switch to change the fan direction. Make sure ceiling fans are
blowing downward (in a counter-clockwise direction) to send air past your body.
Postpone activities that require hot water and large energy use – such as washing dishes
or clothes – to early morning or late evening. This will keep from adding more heat and
humidity to the home. Use the dishwasher and clothes washer late in the evening. When used
during the day, these appliances produce additional heat, causing your air conditioner to work harder.
Use cold water to wash dishes and clothes. This will save on water heating costs.
Avoid using the stove if possible. Consider grilling outside instead.
Unplug equipment not in use. Electric chargers, televisions and audio/video equipment use
electricity and produce heat even when they are not in use. Running an older refrigerator can use up
to three times the energy of a modern one. Unplug any appliance when it’s not in use.
Turn off lights. Turn lights off when exiting a room. They add to the heat in the home. Consider
replacing incandescent bulbs with energy-efficient compact florescent lights (CFLs). And remember to
recycle CFLs whenever possible.
July 2013
• Avoid plumbing — sinks, bathtubs, faucets.
• Don’t forget about your pets. Doghouses
are not safe from lightning, and chained
animals are easy targets.
• If your home is flooded during a storm,
don’t turn on appliances or electronics
until given the okay by an electrician. If
there’s laying water, don’t go inside. The
water could be energized.
Working with large appliances
If your air conditioner goes out, keep a
few things in mind before you start poking
around. Large appliances, such as air
conditioners, are responsible for almost 20
percent of consumer-product electrocutions
each year.
• Understand your electrical system —
know which fuse or circuit breaker
controls each switch, light, and outlet.
• Make sure circuits are turned off before
starting work and take measures to ensure
they’re not turned back on while working.
• Use a circuit tester — always test before
you touch.

Safety Tips for Portable, Standby Generators
W
hen Superstorm Sandy
knocked out power to millions
on the East Coast last fall,
many of those affected turned to portable,
standby generators to help keep food safe,
lights on, and safety and medical equipment
operating. The growing popularity of
emergency generators has resulted in
several million being placed in homes and
small businesses across the nation.
However, only a small percentage
are hooked up or used correctly.
SafeElectricity.org urges consumers to
understand proper generator safety steps.
“Generators can be a lifesaver for some
and can improve the quality of life after a
natural disaster such as a hurricane,
tornado, or earthquake,” explains Molly
Hall, executive director of the Safe
Electricity program. “However, it’s critical
that proper safety precautions be taken to
prevent accidents that could affect you, a
family member, neighbor, or utility
lineworker.”
Generators can be temporarily or
Generate Safely
permanently installed. A permanent
generator is wired into a house by a
qualified electrician using a transfer switch.
This protects you, your neighbors, and
repair crews from electricity backfeeding
onto power lines. This can seriously injure
anyone near those lines, especially co-op
crews working to restore power. A
temporary generator fired by gasoline or
diesel fuel should not be attached to a
circuit breaker, fuse, or outlet.
The improper use of a standby
generator can lead to injury or death.
When using a generator, SafeElectricity.org
urges you to follow these tips to keep you
and your family safe:
• Read and follow all manufacturer
operating instructions to properly
ground the generator. Be sure you
understand them before starting it up.
• Standby generators should have a
transfer safety switch installed by a
professional. Portable generators
should never be plugged directly into
Safe Generator Operation
Keep this card in your home’s emergency kit or with your generator.
• Never operate a generator in a
confined area, such as a garage.
Generators produce gases, including
deadly carbon monoxide. They
require proper ventilation.
• Remember, when venturing outside
after a severe storm, stay away from
downed power lines and be alert to
the possibility that tree limbs or
debris may hide an electrical hazard.
Assume that any dangling wires you
encounter are electrical, and treat all
downed or hanging power lines as if
they are energized. Warn others to
stay away and contact the electric
utility.
• Generators pose electrical risks,
especially when operated in wet
conditions. Use a generator only
when necessary when the weather
creates wet or moist conditions.
Protect the generator by operating it
under an open, canopy-like structure
on a dry surface where water cannot
form puddles or drain under it.
Always ensure that your hands are
dry before touching the generator.
Never connect a standby generator into your home’s electrical
system. There are only two safe ways to connect a standby
generator to your equipment:
• When you refuel the generator, make
sure the engine is cool to prevent a
fire, should the tank overflow.
Stationary An approved generator transfer switch, which keeps
Generator: your house circuits separate from the electric co-op,
should be installed by a professional.
• There should be nothing plugged
into the generator when you turn it
on. This prevents a surge from
damaging your generator and
appliances.
Portable
Plug appliances directly into the outlet
Generator: provided on the generator.
Set up and run your generator in a well-ventilated area outside the
home. Make sure it’s out and away from your garage, doors, windows,
and vents. The carbon monoxide generated is DEADLY.
Use a heavy-duty extension cord to
connect electric appliances to the
outlet on the generator.
Start the generator first BEFORE
connecting appliances.

• Be sure to keep children and pets
away from the generator, which
could burn them.
