Your electric rates are set by the elected Board of Directors and reflect the true cost of providing service to customer-owners.
Current Rate Schedules:
Your bill consists of two primary charges:
Facilities charge — A fixed monthly charge that covers the cost of maintaining and upgrading the electric grid in our service area, along with other fixed costs of serving customers.
Energy charge — A per-kilowatt-hour charge that covers the cost of purchasing and generating the electricity you use.
Monthly charges for most residential customers are:
- Fixed facilities charge: $28.00 per month
- Energy charge: $0.06292/kWh (6.29 cents per kilowatt-hour)
Residential customers with a peak demand of more than 50 kilowatts during a billing period fall under a different rate structure, outlined in the rate schedules above.
