As a nonprofit distribution co-op, WCEC buys wholesale power from other entities to distribute to members as they use it. WCEC doesn\u2019t mark up the cost of power or make any profit from it. As power costs fluctuates, the Power Cost Recovery Factor (PCRF) allows WCEC to pass the cost variations to members. This is not a rate change on the price of electricity, but members pay more or less per kWh as the PCRF is raised or lowered.<\/p>\n
To secure the best power prices, WCEC purchases power through a generation and transmission cooperative (G&T). G&T’s enable distribution co-ops like WCEC to plan power supply in larger quantities to take advantage of economies of scale.<\/p>\n
Members\u2019 monthly charges, per the applicable Schedule, shall be increased or decreased based on a PCRF (expressed in charge per kWh) computed monthly as follows:<\/p>\n
PCRF = (A \u2013 B \u00b1 C) \u00f7 kWhs<\/strong><\/p>\n A<\/strong> = Total estimate cost of power from all suppliers. We’d be happy to help!
