Agricultural Irrigation Rate Design Changes
PrintThe rate redesign program introduced facilities charges for the first time for this rate class, complemented by reduced energy charges. The number of accounts in this rate class amounted to slightly less than 5 percent of all CEC accounts at the end of 2018. Kilowatt-hour rate projections include no assumptions about inflation or future Bonneville Power Administration rate increases.
