CFU Electric Rates
Residential Rates
The residential electric rate is made up of three components: the service charge, the base rate and the Net Energy Cost Adjustment.
Service Charge
The service charge is applied on each metered service. This charge covers CFU's costs associated for meter reading, customer services, billing, service calls and meter maintenance. The monthly service charge for residential customers is $23.75.
Base Rate
The base rate is an amount you pay for each kilowatt-hour used. It covers the cost of CFU's local electric distribution system, transmission costs, production costs and other expenses. The rate per kilowatt-hour (KWH) over 800 KWH is different in the winter and summer.
Rates
- First 800 KWH consumed: 6.48¢ per KWH
- All Over 800 KWH consumed: 5.90¢ per KWH (Winter, Oct-May)
- All Over 800 KWH consumed: 6.48¢ per KWH (Summer, June-Sept)
Net Energy Cost Adjustment
CFU passes on to customers only the cost to produce or purchase electricity without markup through the Net Energy Cost Adjustment. This charge is adjusted each month to reflect the variability in the cost of fuel and purchased power and is applied to each kilowatt-hour of usage. If your billed usage occurs both before and after the first of the month, your effective Net Energy Cost Adjustment will be calculated for the number of days each charge was in effect.
