As a Tomahawk REA Member
your choice has never been more critical.
THE SITUATION
WITH NEW REGULATIONS ALLOWING REAs TO BUY OTHER REAs COMING SOON, EQUS HAS MADE AN OFFER TO PURCHASE TOMAHAWK.
EQUS is offering choice to ALL Tomahawk REA members.
Why is choice important?
The only offer being considered right now by the Tomahawk Board of Directors is from Fortis.
We want to ensure all Tomahawk members are informed as much as possible to ensure they can make an informed choice and understand all their options when they vote on November 18.
WHO IS EQUS?
EQUS is an REA and a member-owned utility, proudly serving rural communities for decades.
Our vision stems from a deep-rooted commitment to community, sustainability, and innovation. At EQUS, our members are at the heart of everything we do, and we prioritize delivering quality, reliable services while fostering community connections. Choose EQUS, and you choose a co-operative spirit, unmatched dedication, and a brighter energy future for all.
ACTION
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
1.
Vote NO on November 18th to decline the offer from Fortis.
If you want equity or want to maintain ownership and stay an REA then you should have the option to consider the offer from EQUS that allows this choice for all individual members. Tomahawk members asked for choice - vote NO and then you can consider both options.
2.
Learn about new legislation that allows REAs to purchase other REAs.
Contact the Director of Rural Utilities to learn more about legislation and pending regulations related to the sale of REAs. Decline the Fortis offer and once new regulations roll out, consider the opportunity with EQUS.
SHARED VALUES
Both EQUS REA and TOMAHAWK REA share core values rooted in community, empowerment, and sustainability.
Our aligned visions prioritize member voices, collective growth, and the future of rural energy. As collaborators, our strengths multiply, ensuring that our communities receive unparalleled service and advantages. Beyond mere energy provision, it’s about nurturing bonds, fostering resilience, and paving paths for shared prosperity. The essence of an REA lies in choice. It’s about members deciding their futures, having a say in their community’s direction, and ensuring that every voice is valued and heard.
CLOSING
ONCE THE REA IS GONE, THERE IS NO GOING BACK.
Know your options, before it’s too late. You need ALL the information to ensure you’re making the best choice for you and your future. Voting no to the Fortis offer means unlocking choices for EVERYONE.
With new regulations allowing REAs to buy other REAs coming soon, EQUS has made an offer to purchase Tomahawk. An offer filled with options, an offer where we can all win. Remember, selling to Fortis is giving away control and ownership. And once it’s gone… there’s no turning back. On November 18th, vote no to the Fortis offer. Encourage your board of directors to explore all available options. Declining the Fortis offer? That’s a vote for CHOICE.
