Company Description
EnerStar Electric Cooperative is a not-for-profit electric distribution cooperative that is locally owned and controlled by its members.
The headquarters are located in Paris, IL.
Electric cooperatives are member-owned, not-for-profit businesses that provide electricity and related services to their members.
They are distinguished from investor-owned utilities by their cooperative structure, where profits are returned to members rather than shareholders.
Electric co-ops were initially formed to bring power to rural areas where investor-owned utilities were not providing service.
