2025 Capital Credits Unclaimed List

Each year, Newberry Electric Cooperative publishes a list of former members to whom the cooperative has unsuccessfully attempted to deliver retired capital credits of more than $50.

Alongside the name of each person owed money is their last known mailing address. If you recognize a name on the list, please have them contact the cooperative. Proof of identity is required to claim capital credits. For those claiming on behalf of a deceased person, the cooperative requires either a Certificate of Appointment or an Affidavit for Collection of Personal Property from the Judge of Probate. A completed estate application, which is available at our office, is also required.

The cooperative’s revenue beyond expenses belongs to our members. These margins are allocated to each member according to their energy use in the form of capital credits. When Newberry Electric Cooperative’s finances permit, the capital credits are retired and distributed to members. In 2025, Newberry Electric retired $295,675.

Each year, hundreds of checks are returned as undeliverable by the post office. Former members are encouraged to keep Newberry Electric updated with a current mailing address. To claim funds, call Newberry Electric during office hours at (803) 276-1121. Please reference your call as concerning unclaimed capital credits.
