Cooperatives that provide essential services to their members,
such as energy and telephones.
This segment is comprised of cooperatives which aim to collectively
provide certain services to their members. In Brazil, the most common
are rural electric power and telephone cooperatives.
Rural electric power cooperatives provide electricity to their communities,
which is normally supplied either by concessionaires, or by their own generators.
Some also have consumer sectors which provide electric appliances, as well as
other utilities.
