2025 Rate Adjustment FAQs

Community Electric Co-op announces a new rate structure, effective for members Fall of 2025. Safety, reliability and affordability remain the main focus of our board and staff at CEC. We are a member-owned cooperative, and strive every day to provide the reliable, quality service you have come to know and expect. Any decision to implement a new rate structure is not done lightly and we have done everything possible to minimize the impact on the members.

After more than a decade of maintaining the same rate schedule, Community Electric Cooperative will implement a modest rate adjustment this fall—our first schedule change since 2012. On average, members can expect to see an increase of 4 percent, which amounts to approximately $8–$10 more per month for a typical residential household. In comparison, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that, in April, electricity prices increased 3.6 percent over the past year alone.
