Why is CTEC increasing rates?

  • The last rate increase was in 2016. Since then, inflation and rising costs in the electric industry have put pressure on the cooperative's operations.
  • Major drivers of this change include:
    • Inflation Pressure impacting overall costs.
    • Increased industry costs such as materials and equipment.
    • Investments in electric infrastructure to improve reliability
  • A third-party consultant, The Prime Group, conducted a Cost of Service Study to ensure the rate adjustment is fair and necessary.
