Rate Update - November Billing
As noticed last month, CVEA began winter generation (using fuel as the primary resource for generation) mid-October. This was earlier than 2023 due to cold weather at elevation reducing inflows and the availability of water at the Allison Creek and Solomon Gulch Hydroelectric Projects. Since that time, CVEA has been on full winter generation.
Higher fuel usage for generating electricity will result in a 9.12 cent/kWh increase over October. To lessen the impact on member bills going forward, CVEA plans to levelize the cost of power through January 2025. The rate is based on 28 percent hydropower and 72 percent fuel. If additional fuel is used for generation, fuel costs change, or more hydro becomes available, a revision to the rate may be necessary.
As a reminder, fuel costs are a direct pass through to the member based on their usage.
