Electricity provides powerful value
|
Even though I work in the energy industry, I still don’t think much about the electricity I use, which is typical of most people. I expect the lights to turn on when I flip the switch and the coffeemaker to work each morning. The only time we really think about electricity is when the power goes out or perhaps when the monthly bill arrives. Electricity plays a vital role in our daily lives, from keeping food fresh to heating our homes. In our rural communities, it enhances our quality of life, making it easier to stay connected and comfortable. Remarkably, the cost of electricity has remained stable compared to As a member-owned cooperative, Burke-Divide Electric Cooperative is dedicated to keeping costs reasonable for our members. We work hard to ensure you receive reliable service without breaking the bank. Various factors influence electricity rates, such as supply and demand, maintenance and even weather conditions. Additionally, government policies regarding energy sources and emissions impact prices. We carefully consider these factors when adjusting our rates, always prioritizing our members’ needs. In our rural area, where we rely on electricity for so much within our homes and local businesses, it’s crucial this resource remains dependable and affordable. Rest assured, we are committed to ensuring electricity continues to be one of the best values in your budget. Until next time, Jerry King |
