There are two components to Cumberland Electric Membership Corporation’s energy rates:

1. Rates have seasonal energy components — that is, metered kilowatt-hours will have a different cost associated with summer, winter and transition (spring-fall) months;

2. Rates are realigned to reflect fuel and nonfuel components. Many of you are already familiar with the Tennessee Valley Authority monthly Fuel Cost Adjustment (FCA) presented on our statements. The new rates will move a portion of the energy charge (base fuel) into the TVA FCA. This new philosophy reflects the wholesale (TVA) cost of power during the different times of the year.

The Customer Charge is the amount of a monthly bill assessed to cover the fixed costs of providing electric service, regardless of sales. The cost-of-service studies used to determine the amount of the fixed costs are approved by TVA.
