Changing season, changing clocks... a lot of changes come about this time of year, including our rates. The lower “non-summer” energy charge goes into effect on Nov. 1, putting a little extra money in your pocket just in time for the holidays.
The rate for residential customers is 9.01 cents per kilowatt-hour, down from the summer rate of 9.98 cents. November's bill will be $122.10 for 1,000 kWh. A member using 1,000 kWh in October paid $131.80. This includes the $6.00 Wholesale Power Cost Adjustment (WPCA).

Energy Savings
When you set your clocks back an hour at the end of Daylight Saving Time on Nov. 2, let the time change serve as a reminder to check and replace your HVAC system filters. A dirty filter will slow down air flow and make the system work harder to keep you warm — wasting energy. Changing filters is simple and inexpensive, and can mean the difference between optimum comfort and avoidable repairs.
