Fayette Electric Cooperative Announces Rate Adjustment

Fayette Electric Cooperative is adjusting its retail base rates to ensure financial stability and continue providing reliable, affordable power. The increase, approved by the board on January 8 and will be reflected on the June 2025 bill, will raise overall revenues by approximately 4.3%, with an average bill impact of less than 4% per affected member.

The adjustment is driven by rising operating and labor costs, capital improvements, and expenses related to the co-op’s new headquarters. Additionally, tariff changes will increase the size limit for small power production and cogeneration from 100 to 999 kilowatts, accommodating larger rooftop solar installations.

Members are invited to a meeting to discuss the changes on March 24 at 2 p.m. at the Randolph Recreation-Activity Center, 653 Pearl St., La Grange. For questions, contact Fayette Electric Cooperative at (979) 968-3181 or toll-free at 1-866-968-3181 or here for more information.
