Cooperative To Place Power Supply Cost Recovery Charge On Member Bills Starting In November

Due to higher than anticipated wholesale power transmission costs, the co-op will be implementing a power supply cost recovery charge on member bills. The $0.008 per kWh charge will show up on member bills starting in November. See Tony’s manager’s column for additional details on how this rate mechanism works and what it means for the average member bill.

Cherryland Buys And Donates Grand Champion Pig At The Fair
