Commercial Rates

CFU has several electric rate plans for commercial customers depending on size of company, usage and number of meters.

All electric rates include three components: the service charge, the energy charge and the energy cost adjustment factor (ECA). Rates for  commercial customers with load in excess of 50KW also include a demand charge. 

Service Charge
A fixed monthly charge covering CFU's overhead costs associated with meter reading, customer services, billing, service calls, and meter maintenance. The monthly service charge for commercial customers varies with the rate plan; see the electric rate schedule.

Energy Charge
The energy charge is the amount you pay for each kilowatt-hour of usage. 

Energy Cost Adjustment (ECA) 12-month ECA history
CFU's power costs change each month due to variability in the cost of fuel and purchased power. the ECA adjusts monthly to pass CFU's power costs through to customers' bills. The ECA is a charge or credit applied to each kilowatt hour of usage. 

Demand Charge
Demand charges are based upon the highest load period, in 15-minute intervals, during a billing month.
