With inflation at record-high levels, we’ve seen prices increase on the large ticket items we need to bring you safe and reliable energy. We pay at least 50% more for poles, pipe, and meters than we did just four years ago. During this same time period, our distribution rates have only increased by 1%. We’ve reached a point where The Energy Cooperative can no longer absorb the increased costs. As a result, your Cooperative Directors voted on the following rate adjustments.

The following monthly rate adjustments are effective on all bills after January 1, 2024. 

  • Residential Natural Gas Members: Facilities Fee adjusts from $24 to $26.50
  • Small General Service Natural Gas Members: Facilities Fee adjusts from $28 to $30.50
  • Medium General Service Natural Gas Members: Facilities Fee adjusts from $55 to $70

 

  • Facilities Charge $24.00 per month
  • Distribution Rate $0.211 per ccf.
  • The Infrastructure Replacement Rider is a fixed monthly fee of $5.49 per member.
  • Gas Cost (GCR) Rate is $.49/ccf effective on all bills on and after March 1, 2024.

The monthly facilities charge covers the cost of bringing natural gas to your home. It incorporates system maintenance for our meters, and pipelines. The cost of bringing natural gas to your home does not vary with your energy use. Whether you use a lot or a little energy each month, the facilities charge ensures you have safe and reliable service 24/7/365.
