2023 Rate Change FAQs

By structuring the new rates around the base charge, we are ensuring that expectations for continuous power and outstanding member services are met. It gives each member an equitable share of the Cooperative’s operations. It also provides funds that must be invested to maintain the safety, reliability and affordability of the Cooperative that you can continue to count on for years to come.
