This rate class’s new design includes two charge categories: kilowatt-hour charges and facilities charges. Central Electric Cooperative’s (CEC) fifth and final phase of its gradual rate redesign became effective January 1. On February bills, residential members will see a $4.4 increase in their facilities’ charges while the energy charge remains unchanged. This rate class accounts for most memberships, approximately 89% in 2022. Kilowatt-hour rate projections include no assumptions about inflation or future Bonneville Power Administration rate increases.
In addition to biennial increases to the facilities charge and corresponding offsetting reductions in the kilowatt-hour charge, this rate class also sees adjustments to demand charges, which measure peak energy use within a given month. This rate class accounted for slightly more than 8% of all membership accounts at the end of 2018. Kilowatt-hour rate projections include no assumptions about inflation or future Bonneville Power Administration rate increases.
The 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% 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.

Rate schedule is applicable to pumping loads in excess of 10 horsepower or pumps served by three-phase power lines.
Following the adjustment in 2021, the facilities charge for these 18 members remains stable throughout the redesign implementation. The independent Cost of Service Analysis determined the facilities charge for this rate class aligned with fair and equitable cost recovery. In addition to the facilities charge and corresponding offsetting reductions in the kilowatt-hour charge, this rate class also sees adjustments to demand charges, which measure peak energy use within a given month. Kilowatt-hour rate projections include no assumptions about inflation or future Bonneville Power Administration rate increases.
