Board approves new rates
ECE's recent cost-of-service study determined that an adjustment to the rate structure was needed to ensure the financial stability of the co-op. The ECE Board of Directors approved the adjustment, and it reflects a less than one percent increase in total revenue when applied to all ECE rate classes: residential, seasonal, commercial and industrial.

ECE’s recent cost-of-service study also revealed the need for an increase to the meter charge for members whose space heating, cooling and water heating systems are controlled under the co-op’s load management programs.
