Have you noticed a reduction in your power bill?

Your Board of Trustees care about the Tri-County Electric Cooperative members affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. To help our communities, the board once again lowered the Wholesale Power Cost Adjustment (WPCA) for members in October. Members using the monthly household average of 1,000 kWh of power will pay $116, which is down from the $131 back in March at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The WPCA is used to adjust the amount charged to members when the wholesale cost of energy rises or falls over time.

If you haven’t noticed a reduction in your power costs, take a look at the WPCA credit on your bill. The credit will vary based on the amount of power used. Your cooperative’s Board hopes that these savings will help members who may be financially impacted from the economic effect of COVID-19.
