Keeping Our Commitment to Reliable, Affordable Power: A Message About Upcoming Rate Changes

Beginning November 1st, our cooperative will implement a rate adjustment for the first time since 2021. We know any increase affects our members and this decision was made only after careful review and with your best interests in mind.

Over the past few years, we’ve worked hard to hold rates steady while facing the same rising costs that impact all of us. Since 2020, vehicle costs have increased, fuel prices have risen sharply, and the materials needed to deliver electricity—such as poles, wire, and transformers—have nearly doubled. Despite these challenges, we’ve managed to delay an increase longer than many other utilities.

This rate adjustment is necessary to maintain our system, replace aging equipment, and strengthen reliability in the face of extreme weather. Every dollar collected goes directly back into operating and improving your cooperative—not to shareholders.

As a member-owned utility, your needs are always at the center of our decisions. We remain committed to managing costs carefully, investing wisely in system reliability, and helping you use energy more efficiently.

We’ve included information comparing how the cost of electricity stacks up against other everyday price increases.

Thank you for your continued trust and partnership.
