Irrigation Rate Options

Big Country Electric Cooperative offers two irrigation rate options for your energy consumption.

Rate Options A and B have proven to be the most beneficial for our members and are the only irrigation rate options currently available. Any members currently on Rate C will be contacted directly to assist with this transition.


OPTION A - Flat Rate
A single, consistent charge for all energy used.
$0.116875 per kWh per month
 
OPTION B - Stepped Charge
A tiered rate structure that may be more economical for irrigators with higher monthly usage.
First 100 kWh/installed HP $0.154776 per kWh per month
Next 100 kWh/installed HP $0.100632 per kWh per month
Over 200 kWh/installed HP $0.059482 per kWh per month

 

Please carefully review the options above and make your annual rate selection by submitting your information below. Rate selections are made annually and cannot be changed during the year once selected. It is important that we have your correct horsepower so that we can bill your account accurately. There is also an Annual Horsepower charge of $19.50 per horsepower ($97.50 minimum), billed in April. If you have a center pivot, multiply your total drive horsepower on your pivot by 25% to find your Billing horsepower for your center pivot. Then add the horsepower for your pump to this amount for your Total Billing Horsepower.

In considering the choice of Option A or Option B, it is essential to try and determine how often you will be watering. If you water more than 45% of the month, Option B may be the better choice. If you begin watering during the last few days of the month and run over into the next month only a few days, you may not fully utilize the benefits of choosing Option B. Again, please review all the information shown above.

 

If you have any questions or need help determining which option best fits your operation, please contact your local BCEC office.
