Rates

Service Availability

The Service Availability Charge helps cover all of the costs associated with building and maintaining an electrical system capable of delivering reliable power 24/7. This includes items like poles, electrical wire, transformers, substations, meter testing, buildings and maintenance, insurance and much more.

Peak Period

1:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m., Monday - Friday not including weekends or major holidays.

On-Peak Demand   

On-Peak Demand is the highest hourly electricity usage that occured during the peak period. 

Purchased Power Cost Adjustment (PPCA)

A Purchased Power Cost Adjustment (PPCA) can be assessed when CEC experiences fluctuations in the cost of purchasing demand, energy or related transmission service(s) from its power supplier (generator).  The PPCA can be a charge or bill credit depending on costs related to purchased power.

Late Fee

A charge that is assessed at a rate of 1.5% of any unpaid balance.

Taxes 

CEC is required to collect taxes for the local and state governments. These also include gross receipts and franchise taxes.

Capital Credits 

As an owner, excess revenues are credited back to your "capital credits" account annually.  Each year, the Board of Directors determines when some portion of your capital credits may be refunded while ensuring CEC's financial health.  To find out more about your capital credits account, contact us.
