In this episode, Smeco’s VP of Rates and Energy Procurement Eugene Bradford pulls back the curtain on how your monthly bill is built—from competitive power market purchases to the poles and wires that deliver electricity to your door. He walks us through load forecasting, rate classes, and the rising costs driven by renewables mandates and the push for future battery storage.

Key Takeaways:

• How Smeco’s power procurement strategy keeps your supply costs as low as possible
• Why distribution infrastructure rates cover poles, transformers, and grid maintenance
• The impact of renewable portfolio standards and what long-duration storage means for 24/7 green power
