OUR RATES
from Member Guidebook
by ButlerRural
As a member of a not-for-profit electric co-op, you receive electricity at cost. We set and maintain rates at the lowest possible point to cover the cost of doing business. Our rates are reasonable, competitive, and stable. Here's an explanation for each rate on your bill.
Distribution Base Charge
Each member pays $40 for the base charge each month, regardless of the amount of electricity they use. All members need reliable energy, so this cost is shared across members to build and maintain our system.
Distribution Energy Charge
This covers upkeep of our electric lines, poles, meters, and substations and is influenced by the co-op's operating costs.
Generation and Transmission Charge
This is the cost of power from Buckeye Power, our generation and transmission co-op. It covers coal, environmental enhancements at generation facilities, fuel for trains, trucks, and barges to bring coal to the plant, and sending power over transmission lines to our distribution system.
