Rate increase: how will it affect my bill?

All News

1/17/24 UPDATE: It has come to our attention that some errors were printed within the January bill insert sent to members this week. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused. Please see the correct chart for new charges below.  

 

On November 29, 2023, Prairie Energy Cooperative's board of directors approved an adjustment in charges affecting prices for the electric service that you receive. Th changes will apply to your usage beginning February 1, 2024. 

The rate adjustment applies to the facility charge, idle service/line retention fee and posting fee while all other rates remain the same. Although the effect of the increase on your bill will vary depending upon your designated revenue class, the primary classes affected are as listed below. A written explanation of current rate schedules and charges is available without charge from our local business office. If you have any questions, please contact us.
