$4.00 per month increase in base charge.
$0.0065 per month increase in the Power Cost Adjustment.
West River Electric's Board of Directors has approved this rate adjustment in response to the rising costs of wholesale power rates and to ensure the cooperative can continue to provide safe, reliable electricity to our members.
The decision to raise member rates is not easy. This adjustment is necessary to ensure we can maintain the services our members have come to expect and support on going enhancements in our infrastructure.
We have seen substantial price increases for essential equipment ranging from 50% to 150% for transformers, poles, wires, and more. These factors have forced us to make difficult decisions regarding our rates.
Serving our members' best interest by maintaining reliable service at an affordable price remains the cornerstone of your cooperative's business. We will continue to have a strong internal focus on containing costs and operating efficiently for you, our member owners.
