While existing cooperative membership is growing by expanding services, the growth of new cooperatives in the U.S. is even more spectacular. For example, one of the most innovative new cooperatives in the US is located in New York City. The 500,000 members of cooperative housing in New York City expanded the value of membership by organizing 1st Rochdale Cooperative. This new consumer-owned cooperative provides electricity, telecommunications, energy audits, and Internet access. In its first year of operation, 1st Rochdale already has added thousands of families and businesses as members, and soon will be the largest consumer-owned energy cooperative in the United States.
