Residential Residential Rates

Residential Rate Schedule

Effective June 1, 2016

Applicable to all single phase users for a residential home, barn equipment, grain bins, grain drying equipment, dairy operations equipment, shop equipment, portable trailers, house trailers, churches, mobile homes or other temporary housing units, and other increased uses of power metered through one meter, requiring a maximum transformer capacity of 50 KVA, as long as proper service voltages can be maintained on the company’s electric system without impacting other consumers of energy.

In the event that a consumer who is served by this rate schedule desires to serve their home and a qualified service (as described above) from the same transformer, the maximum transformer requirement shall be 75 KVA; the consumer will still qualify for this rate schedule after satisfying requirements in the Cooperative’s line extension policies.
