Operation Round-UP

When you enroll in Operation Round-Up your monthly bill “rounds up” to the nearest dollar. The amount rounded up goes to help families, individuals, and senior citizens who need assistance with their power bill.

Capital Credits

As a member, you receive a share of the margins earned by the Coop.

Understanding Demand

The easiest way to reduce demand while meeting household energy consumption requirements is to spread usage throughout the day and night.

Flex Advantage

Pay as you go for the energy you use, instead of receiving a monthly bill.

SmartHub Online Account Management

SmartHub is Lincoln Electric’s online account management tool. It allows you to pay your bill online, set up auto-pay, view your usage, enroll in Operation Round-Up, and much more!

WHO ARE WE

Lincoln Electric is a rural electric cooperative in northwest Montana. As a cooperative, we’re different from many energy companies. We’re owned by those who use our service – our members. Providing reliable, affordable energy safely to our members is why residents created Lincoln Electric in 1948. Although many things have changed in how we do it, that mission remains our focus now and into the future.
