Rate Increase Effective May 1, 2025

As Board President Alan Wasson reported at our October 12, 2024 annual meeting, a rate adjustment would be needed in 2025 due to an increase in the cost of power from our power suppliers, coupled with inflationary pressures and increases to materials and equipment.  While we strive to minimize the impact on our members, these cost increases can no longer be absorbed with our current rates which had remained unchanged since January 2017.  The Board of Directors recently approved a 5% increase to the energy (kWh) rate and a $2 per month increase to the base charge for all rate classes, which will go into effect May 1, 2025.   The current demand (kW) rates will remain the same.

We understand that any rate change can be a concern, and we remain dedicated to transparency and assisting our members.  If you have any questions or would like information on your energy usage or billing history, please contact our office at 406-654-2040 or register your account through the SmartHub link on our website: www.bigflatelectric.com.  Thank you for being a valued member of Big Flat Electric Cooperative.  We appreciate your understanding and continued support as we navigate these necessary changes.
