PrintFor the second time in under 5 years, we are reducing base electric rates. Recent studies performed on PRECO’s costs and revenues show that an overall rate decrease of 4.1% is warranted. In addition, the Cost of Power Adjustment is being lowered to pass even more savings on to our members. New rates go into effect on April 1, 2021.

Power Cost Adjustment – Did you know?
Over the past 2 years, PRECO has reduced your energy charges through the Cost of Power Adjustment (CPA) 6 times, for a total reduction of $7.50 for each 1,000 kWh purchased.
PRECO purchases all your power needs from Seminole Electric Cooperative through a wholesale power contract.
PRECO does not mark up the price of power it purchases from Seminole. The power you consume is sold to you at PRECO’s cost.
Approximately 60% of the total charge on your bill comes from the purchase of wholesale power.
The kWh charge in our base rates includes an estimate of $0.090000 per kWh for wholesale power cost.
PRECO uses the CPA to “true up” the estimated $0.090000 per kWh sold to the actual price of kWh sold. Currently, the CPA is a credit of $23.00 per 1,000 kWh.
