ANEC Electric is a cooperative meaning it's owned by the members it supplies electric to,so that message was sent to the company owners for obvious reasons,to save money and run more efficiently...

I'm sorry, at this point you just aren't making any sense. All this nonsense began when Wader said it hit 90 degrees and I commented that I figured that when I got an alert from the electric co-op. For the life of me, I can't understand the reason for the constant badgering. What is the issue?

Some more on the Electric Cooperative & how it works.....

This is why we get notifications suggesting we alter our usage during peak periods. They budget in electrical purchases to cover for peak periods. If not all of it is used - they have excess.
When operating expenses are less then what was projected/budgeted for - the excess funds are returned to its customers (or members) in the form of credits on their electric bills.

A&N To Return Capital Credits in June Bills

Due to the difficult time many are facing during the COVID-19 outbreak, A&N Electric Cooperative board of directors voted to return capital credits in June instead of August this year.

As a not-for-profit utility company, each year, revenues that exceed expenses (margins) are returned to members. The cooperative typically returns capital credits to its members in August, but the board of directors elected to expedite refunds to June to help members dealing with the current state of emergency.

Refunds will be shown as a credit on an active member’s June bill statement and will vary based on length of membership and the amount of electricity used during the years retired. A total of $2.5 million in capital credits will be returned to eligible cooperative members. In March, the cooperative suspended service disconnects and related fees for residential members throughout the state of emergency and have been working diligently with members to help find payment solutions for those who need them.

To set up a payment arrangement or extension, call 757-787-9750.

I was on the Zoom conference call when the Town Council & Mayor voted to do this. It was a pretty big hit last night when I stopped by.
All of the tables in the street were filled & social distancing protocols were being followed. Lights had been strung across the street from building to building.

Local band was out playing on the Blarney Stone patio.

"That concludes this afternoon's news....
Reporting from Onancock this is wader signing off."

no - still available

Homes down here don't sell quickly. The locals don't really have the money to buy. They usually sit waiting for someone from the tri-state area or Richmond, Baltimore, PA. etc. to buy 'em as either primary or secondary homes. Similar to how I bought mine.

They rely on people coming from outside the area. Those who are maybe retired, just sold their home & are looking for somewhere relatively cheaper to buy then where they are coming from. That have a decent amount of cash to maybe purchase outright.
While they are inexpensive to us for what you get - there is no real employment down here - so you have a very strong rental market. No so much buying market.

How do you like this one?
Right around the corner from me. You can actually spot my house in one of the pictures. Huge back yard that butts up to mine

Taxes on both of these homes is probably around $2000 annually.
