A $20 membership fee for service connection is required for all members choosing to join Lorain-Medina Rural Electric Cooperative. The $20 membership fee is refunded when the member moves off the Lorain-Medina Rural Electric system.
Deposits
Members may pay a $275 deposit* to receive electric service from the cooperative.
*The deposit will be held by the cooperative for a period of two (2) years. After the two-year period, the entire deposit, plus 3 percent annual interest, will be refunded to the member, provided the member has maintained a good credit rating with the cooperative. A good rating shall mean that the member has not been delinquent in paying his/her bill more than once in the most recent 12-month period.
