ELECTRICITY: How does growth affect rising costs?

| November 28, 2025 1:00 AM

Having received the KEC November newsletter, I will share my take on the issue of increasing costs for electricity. I have read and reread the article by Doug Elliot indicating new rates with a start date of January. The explanation is peak periods of usage, known as demand charges, have increased and will continue to increase up to 25% in the next three years.

I did not read in the article anything about the explosive growth in our area, contributing to the power needs in our county and elsewhere.
