Southeastern Indiana Rural Electric Membership Corporation ecobee Residential Smart Thermostat Program Agreement Thank you for your interest in the Southeastern Indiana Rural Electric Membership Corporation’s (“Cooperative”) Residential Smart Thermostat Program (“Program”), a service offered in partnership with ecobee, Ltd (“ecobee”), to help reduce the Cooperative’s kilowatt demand during critical periods (“Event”). The Program allows you to participate in a program for residential customers offered by the Cooperative using an ecobee3 lite* thermostat (“thermostat”). As part of the Program, customers will receive a personally optimized curtailment adjustment to the thermostat to reduce demand on the electric grid. With eco+ enabled, the temperature adjustment is an optimization algorithm that will be tailored to the customer’s savings preferences. An optimization algorithm is unique to each customer and is a combination of input from the customer (dictated by the comfort preference scale in the eco+ set up), thermodynamics of the home, performance of the HVAC system, Event length, pre-cool or pre-heat setting and occupancy patterns. At any time, the customer may opt out of an Event or override this automatic change simply by adjusting the thermostat to a different temperature or using the ecobee mobile application. Eligibility Requirements The Program is available to Cooperative residential electric members who meet certain eligibility requirements. In order to participate, you must: (a) be a Cooperative residential electric service active account holder; (b) have a reliable high-speed internet service at the Cooperative electric service address; (c) have an active ecobee account linked to your ecobee thermostat; and (d) agree to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. In addition, the Program is offered by the Cooperative for the summer season (June, July and August) and winter season (December, January and February), and requires an installed operable ecobee thermostat. During the summer season the ecobee thermostat must be controlling an air conditioning unit, and during the winter season the ecobee thermostat must be controlling any electric heat source, both at your Cooperative service address. Incentive(s) During the Program, Cooperative account holders participating in the Program are eligible to receive an ecobee3 lite* thermostat at no additional cost (“Incentive”) for enrolling and continued enrollment in the Program for at least two (2) years. The Cooperative will provide a $10 incentive for each of the summer months (June, July, August) and winter months (December, January, February) for participation in load shed events. The Cooperative may choose to develop and implement other incentive offers related to thermostat operation. If the Cooperative develops additional incentives, the account holder is eligible to participate in these future offers. The Cooperative will contact the account holder in the event additional offers become available. The Incentives are provided solely by the Cooperative. ecobee bears no responsibility for the Incentives. The Cooperative reserves the right to seek further information to verify your eligibility for the Incentives. If you opt out of a load shed event, you will not receive the incentive. Consistently opting out of load shed events within the first 2 years will result in termination from the program and you will be charged the cost of the ecobee device. * If you are currently enrolled in the Generac Generator Program you are ineligible for the ecobee Smart Thermostat Program.

In addition, ecobee may share with the Cooperative your decision to opt out of Program or your deletion of your ecobee account, each of which will automatically result in the termination of your enrollment in Program. Member agrees to maintain network connectivity to the thermostat through Member’s high-speed internet service, and agrees, to the extent practical, to keep network connection in operating condition.

Indiana Connection Magazine Indiana Connection's content celebrates the rural and suburban Indiana lifestyle, and also includes advice on how to stay safe around electricity and how to trim your energy bills. Plus, our members have access to the latest news about issues important to them as consumers of electric and diversified services provided by the REMC. Over 300,000 Hoosiers from all over the state receive the magazine, which is published by Indiana Electric Cooperatives, through their membership in their local electric co-ops. The magazine has informed, entertained and, most importantly, connected with its readers since its first issue in 1951. Back then, it was known as Indiana Rural News . Through the years, the multi-award-winning publication evolved from a tabloid newspaper, to one with a new moniker - Electric Consumer - which referred to its electric cooperative roots, to a slick stock magazine. Finally, March 2019, the magazine rebranded as Indiana Connection, a name chosen to reflect their strong ongoing relationship with their readers. Our readers can’t be pigeon-holed by their background, occupation, age, gender or race. They are anyone and everyone. They are uniquely “Indiana.” Learn More Want to receive your copy of Indiana Connection Magazine electronically? Sign up for the ePub .

Patronage Capital Patronage Capital refunds (or also known as capital credits) are retained margins left over at the end of a year at a not-for-profit electric cooperative. Capital credits represent the most significant source of equity for Southeastern Indiana REMC. Since a cooperative’s “shareholders” are also the people the co-op serves, capital credits reflect each member’s ownership in the cooperative. This differs from dividends that investor-owned utilities pay shareholders, who may or may not be customers of the utility. The information contained in this website listing is for general information purposes only. The list of names is provided by “Southeastern Indiana REMC”. Although we will strive to keep the names up-to-date and correct, we make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, or reliability with respect to the list of names provided on this website. Forms: Individual Claim Form | Business HOW MUCH PATRONAGE (CAPITAL CREDITS) IS BEING REFUNDED IN 2022? Your Board approved refunding capital credits for the years 1999, and part of 2020. The total amount of patronage to be refunded is $1,514,590.85. We typically only refund around 74% of this amount or about $1,120,797.23 due to not having a valid address for some former members. WHERE DOES THE MONEY COME FROM? Member-owned, not-for-profit electric utilities like Southeastern Indiana REMC set rates to generate enough money to pay operating costs, make payments on any loans, and provide an emergency reserve. At the end of each calendar year, we subtract operating expenses from the total amount of money collected during the year. The balance is called a margin. HOW ARE MARGINS ALLOCATED? Margins are allocated to members as capital credits based on their purchases from the cooperative – how much power the member used. Member purchases may also be called patronage. WHY DOES MY COOPERATIVE REFUND CAPITAL CREDITS? Doing so follows one of our seven cooperative principles – Members’ Economic Participation – through rotation of capital. Capital rotation/refund, when determined feasible by the Board, is also required to meet IRS requirements to maintain our 501 C12 tax status. Capital rotation/refund is also used as a tool to target our optimum equity range, which falls between 40% to 60%. If cash is available and equity is on the high end of the range, a capital credit refund to members is an appropriate consideration of our Board in controlling our system equity. ARE CAPITAL CREDITS REFUNDED EVERY YEAR? Each year, the Southeastern Indiana REMC Board of Directors decides whether to refund capital credits based on the financial health of the cooperative. During some years, the co-op may experience extreme weather patterns which significantly affects kWh sales and margins, high growth in the number of new accounts added, maintaining an optimal equity level, rate inadequacy due to inflated costs since the last rate revision, or severe storms may result in the need to spend additional funds to repair lines and restore electric service. These events might lower cash and member equity, causing the board to defer any capital credit refund. For this reason, Southeastern Indiana REMC’s ability to return margins to members in the form of capital credits reflects your cooperative’s strength and financial stability. DO I LOSE MY CAPITAL CREDITS IN THE YEARS THE CO-OP DECIDES NOT TO MAKE REFUNDS? No. All capital credits from every year members have been served by Southeastern Indiana REMC are maintained until such time as the board refunds them. Prior to this year, Southeastern Indiana REMC refunded all capital credits through 1998 and parts of 2017-2019. HOW MUCH HAS SOUTHEASTERN INDIANA REMC PAID IN TOTAL CAPITAL CREDIT REFUNDS SINCE IT BEGAN IN 1939? Southeastern Indiana REMC has paid $30,418,955.23 in capital credit refunds to current and former members to date. HOW OFTEN DO MEMBERS RECEIVE CAPITAL CREDITS? The Southeastern Indiana REMC Board of Directors decides each year whether to refund capital credits. When the cooperative is strong enough financially and the member equity levels are high enough, the board directs staff to refund some portion of past years’ capital credits. HOW WILL REFUNDS BE ISSUED? Members currently receiving electric service will see the refund as a separate line item on their electric bill in March. Inactive members (with capital credits due) will receive a capital credit check. Due to the expense involved in processing printed checks, the minimum capital credit check that will be written will be $5. WHAT IF I HAVE MOVED? If you move or no longer have electric service with Southeastern Indiana REMC it is important to keep your address current, so future disbursements can be properly mailed. Capital credits are reserved for members even if they move out of the Southeastern Indiana REMC service area. Southeastern Indiana REMC will make a diligent effort to send a check to a valid address by mail. HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL GET REFUNDS? Roughly 21,850 currently active members will receive a bill credit on their primary electric account and another 8,550 active members (i.e. Beneficiaries) will receive a check from Southeastern Indiana REMC. More Information We appreciate the opportunity to serve you and thank you for being a member. If you have additional questions about capital credits, please call (812) 689-4111.
