Availability charge vs. kWh charge

Availability charge

The daily availability charge covers your share of the cost to build and maintain power lines and the electric system that makes power available at your location. This charge is higher in rural areas because costs are shared by fewer members.

kWh charge

The kWh energy charge covers the cost of electricity you actually use, including its generation and transmission from the power plant. This rate schedule includes separate rates for winter and summer. Winter rates are October through May and summer rates are June through September. Rates are higher in summer because demand and wholesale power costs are higher. Co-op members use more electricity during the hottest days of summer than they do on the coldest days of winter. As a result, power costs more during the summer than in the winter.
