If a pole has to be set for the light, a flat charge of $250 per pole will be assessed. Power Cost Adjustment and Cost of Debt Adjustment are also assessed on the calculated kwh each lamp uses, based on 335 burning hours per month. Adjustments are charged as follows:

M1: Control of Air Conditioners
Qualifying members will receive a credit of $1.59 per kVA of connected compressor capacity controlled from June 1
through September 30. Credit shall not apply to installations using under 500 kwh during the month and shall not exceed 20% of the monthly energy charge before the application of the credit. Credit shall be applied at the end of each month.

M2: Control of Water Heaters
Qualifying members will receive a credit of $2.12 per water heater controlled for the period of June 1 through September 30. Credit shall not exceed 20% of the monthly energy charge before the application of the credit. Credit shall be applied at the end of each month.

The Cooperative shall have the right to interrupt service to the water heater/air conditioner for a 5 hour period during peak load conditions. Said interruptions shall occur from June through September or during emergency conditions which may occur during any time of the year.

Cost of Debt Adjustment
This adjustment clause allows the cooperative to pass on increases or decreases in its cost of debt above or below an amount established by the PSC. The adjustment factor and its resulting dollar amount are always printed on your bill. Multiplying the factor by the total number of kWh gives the dollar amount.

Taxes
Local and State Sales Taxes, and City Franchise Taxes for those whose service is located inside the city limits of an incorporated municipality, are added to above amounts.  

Power Cost Adjustment
A Power Cost Adjustment is factored into the bill for each kWh used. This adjustment clause was approved by the PSC to allow the cooperative to pass on any monthly decrease or increase in the cost of generating electricity, especially fuel cost fluctuations, without having to go through the lengthy and costly process of filing for minor rate changes. The factor per kWh and the dollar amount is printed on your bill.

Additional Charges You May Need To Pay
The following is a list of charges you may have to pay under certain circumstances in addition to your electric bill:

Basic Service Charge
Much of the cost of providing electric service to our members is for building and maintaining service. The Basic Service Charge is based on fixed costs such as the cost of materials for the power lines, meter and transformer, taxes on property, interest on borrowed money, maintenance, and billing—those costs associated with keeping power available even if no electricity is ever used. As a nonprofit cooperative, we try to design rates which reflect the actual costs of providing electric service. The Basic Service Charge is intended to cover the fixed costs of the service.
