Energy Costs
As an electric cooperative, ECE works hard to keep rates low, while still maintaining a reliable distribution system. In addition to our standard general service rate, we also offer many reduced-rate programs to save you money.

Our Current Rates
Here is a quick, easy way to check our current rates and any necessary fees. We've broken our rates into seasons and per kilowatt-hour. Please let us know if you have any questions.

• Monthly cost of basic service charge is $25.14.
• Winter (September - May) energy charge is 11.5 cents per kilowatt-hour.
• Summer (June, July and August) charge is 13.8 cents per kilowatt-hour.

Summer energy charges: Energy charges are higher in June, July and August because demand peaks during those months drive up power costs and require added investments to serve the higher demand.

Power Cost Adjustment: A charge implemented when necessary to recoup wholesale power costs beyond what is included in the current rates. This charge may vary throughout the year.

To help avoid those peaks and save money through conservation, check out ECE reduced rate programs section of the web site for programs such as Cycled Air and Energy Storage Water Heating. Then contact an ECE trusted energy advisor to discover how to squeeze the most out of your electricity dollars.
