Your Electric Rate

How Electric Rates Are Determined

Several factors go into determining a location's service rate, such as building a new structure at a new service location, changes to an existing service location, or the addition of a building to an existing service location. A review of the electric utilities and the service location takes place to establish the electric rate.

For More Information

Here's a link to ECI REC's Facility Charge, Rate Structure, and More FAQs brochure that outlines a number of the factors that go into structuring electric rates

Different Rate Groups

ECI REC's three primary rate groups are below, click on your rate group to find your rate class.

**** Notice Rate Increase Effective March 1, 2023 ****

AT THE NOVEMBER 2022 MEETING, your Board of Directors approved an overall rate increase of 5%. The increase will apply to your electric usage beginning on March 1, 2023, and it will appear on the bill you receive in April. The cost of security lights leased from the Cooperative will also increase 50 cents ($0.50) per month.

Beginning on March 1, most rate classes will see an increase in the Facility Charge. In addition, all rate classes will move to one Energy Charge (kWh). (Currently, many rate classes rely on two rate blocks, applied based on usage.)

Members can expect to receive their official rate increase notices via mail in late January.
