Non-Summer Rates Began this Month

The cooperative's non-summer rates went into effect on Oct. 1.

These rates are lower than the summer rates co-op members experience beginning in June and running through September.

Summer electricity use drives the wholesale cost of electricity. Recently for A&N Electric Cooperative, the highest peak demands for electricity during the summer have helped determine the cost of electricity year-round.

Cooperative members pay more for the electricity they use in the four summer months (June through September), while a lower rate has been State Corporation Commission approved in the eight non-summer months (October through May).
