Rate Change Information

 

Rates as of July 1, 2025

To continue delivering quality service and to support necessary infrastructure upgrades, a $5 per month increase in the service availability fee for residential and seasonal members will be implemented July 1, 2025. The rate increase will be reflected on the bills received in August from the July billing. 

This increase ensures the cooperative can cover fixed operational costs, such as maintenance of power lines, substations, and administrative expenses, which remain constant regardless of electricity usage. PEC is challenged with maintaining a large geographical service area, with low member density, serving about 5 members per mile of power line. In comparison, investor-owned utilities serve higher density areas, having about 31 consumers per mile. 

Rate increases for large power, outdoor lights, and other rate classes have also been implemented. 

Late Fee

Accounts delinquent by 30 days or more will be charged a late fee of 3% per month of $5.00, whichever is greater. These accounts will be subject to collection and disconnect procedures.

PCA (Power Cost Adjustment)

PCA reflects the fluctuation of the cost of purchased power from Dairyland Power Cooperative, PEC's wholesale power provider.

Public Benefit

Monthly fee required under Wisconsin's Reliability 2000 legislation. The fee is aimed at improving energy conservation and providing low-income energy assistance.
