As a not-for-profit, member-owned cooperative, a third-party entity annually evaluates Central’s rates and cost of service to ensure its current rate structure is equitable for all members. This process is in place to ensure all the necessary expenses required to operate and maintain the system are adequately covered and the current rate structure is appropriate for all members. 

After an extensive review of our current rates and cost of service, the board of trustees has voted to implement a necessary rate adjustment effective April 1, 2025. Adjustments will be made to all
rate classes. 

Residential Rate Information

All residential members will see a change in the monthly service availability fee, which will increase $2, from $28 to $30. 

Residential members will also see a change in the kWh price from $0.0890 to $0.1025, which is a $0.0135 per kWh change. The change to your electric bill will be determined by your individual use patterns and weather patterns (temperature). Typically, Central members use more kWh in the summer and winter than in the spring and fall. Therefore, you will see a larger increase during the hotter and colder months.
