Rates

How We Bill for Your Service

Your electric service consists of two primary costs.

1) The Facility Charge. This flat monthly charge is the cost of providing you with electricity, regardless of the amount you use. It is the cost of equipment such as poles, lines, transformers, employees, and more.

2) The Electric Charge. This is the amount of kilowatt hours your service used multiplied by the amount charged per your rate for that usage.

See a Detailed Explanation of Your Bill 

We offer several different rate classes based on members' needs. Your current rate is listed on the back of your bill above the graph.

You can find PDFs of each of our rates, along with our power cost adjustment schedule and net metering rider, on this page.
