Wholesale Power Cost Adjustment

October 20, 2022

You will notice a Wholesale Power Cost Adjustment (WPCA) applied to your electric bill. The WPCA is an additional fee added to members’ bills to help the cooperative face the challenge of rising costs without implementing a permanent rate increase. At this time, the Board of Directors and Management agree the WPCA is needed to offset the additional costs. LREC remains committed to operating responsibly and in the best interest of the members as we strive to minimize the impact rising costs have on each household. We appreciate your understanding as we navigate these challenging times.

What is the Wholesale Power Cost Adjustment (WPCA)?
The WPCA is used to “adjust” the amount charged to members when the price of fuels to generate electricity increase and decrease over time. Fuel cost adjustments can be additions or subtractions on the member’s electric bill depending upon how much Lynches River Electric’s wholesale power provider had to pay for generation fuels.
How long will this level of cost adjustment last?
We are not sure at this time; but rest assured, we will adjust it in accordance with our cost.
