The Cooperative’s rates are intended to recover the actual cost of wholesale power based on projected amounts. In order to assure that power costs are neither over collected nor under collected from the Members, any difference between actual wholesale power cost and projected cost will be reflected in subsequent rate schedules. This is known as the power cost adjustment (PCA). Currently, the PCA is $.0199. (This includes the IDC charge as described below.)

Interest during construction (IDC) charges include additional costs, such as interest to construct new resources, deferred expenses, interest on new or acquired resources, and government mandated environmental costs or upgrades.

Green power is electricity that comes from renewable, more environmentally friendly sources like wind, solar, geothermal, biomass and low-impact hydropower energy. Green power can be purchased for $5 per block (which is added to your electric bill). It is available in blocks of 150 kilowatt-hours. For every block of green power purchased, your kWh usage is reduced by 150 for the purpose of calculating the fuel charge.
