DEDICATED TO PROVIDING VALUE:
POWER COST ADJUSTMENT
You’ve previously seen Wholesale Power Adjustment (WPA) on your bill under Current Charges. To more accurately describe and reflect the cost of providing power to you, in April we changed the name to Power Cost Adjustment (PCA). This could be an addition or reduction on your bill.
Please note: If you are taking advantage of our Even Bill rate, your PCA will not appear as a line item on your bill. The PCA is calculated into the Even Bill rate and included at the time of Even Bill recalculation.

CHOOSE AN ELECTRIC RATE BASED ON YOUR LIFESTYLE
Take advantage of our rate selection tool online to identify which electric rate may work best based on your energy use habits and lifestyle. Some of our lifestyle options include:
• Even Bill: Allows you to pay the same bill amount every month and the amount you pay is recalculated every year based on your energy use habits, with no true-up at the end of the full year (12 consecutive billing periods).
• NiteFlex: Perfect for EV owners and those who use power late at night. This time-of-use rate gives you up to 400 kWh of free electricity each month if used from midnight to 6 a.m.
• Smart Choice: Ideal for super energy savers who want to be rewarded with lower electric bills. On Energy Saving Peak days, we’ll notify you to conserve energy from 2-7 p.m. Your peak service charge for the year will be determined by your highest energy demand during these hours.
