Whetstone Valley Announces Rate Increase:

Due to the increase in the wholesale cost of electric power (our electric bill) along with a rise in operational costs, the cooperative will be increasing rates effective with the January 2010 billing period. We have consulted with Power Systems Engineering of Madison, WI to determine the proper rate levels for each class of electric consumer; i.e. residential, commercial, single-phase, multi-phase. We have determined the increase required in revenue over the present rate is an average of 7%. Please refer to our monthly publication, Cooperative Connections, for a complete rate structure chart.

As costs rise, more consumers take an active role in managing their energy use. There are several resources you can use to make effective and money saving changes to reduce your energy bill. Please take a few minutes to look into the energy-efficiency tools and tips on our site as well as the products and services available to our members. Conduct your own energy audit; utilize the Energy Calculator to help you determine where you use the most energy, or go to the Conservation page and get fantastic tips that can save you money. Not interested in doing your own audit? Contact our Member Services Department for an appointment with an energy audit professional.
