A quick wrap up of 2021, thank you to our listeners and we will back in 2021.

In part two, we discuss how the SHIFT for Savings program will help lower your energy consumption during peak periods.  Shifting your usage during these peak periods, not only will help lower your bill but it will help save your cooperative money as well. These savings are passed on to our members. Help us flatten future rate increases, by flattening the demand curve, our wholesale power bill will be less.

The rates charged to commercial and residential customers is not simply X + Y = Your Bill. The electric industry has complex rates and it starts with the Wholesale Rates we are charged.  In this episode, we review what drives our cooperative rate structures.  This is a two part episode.
