Sawnee EMC announces rate decrease on energy bills

By Regan Spinks, AccessWDUN Staff

The Board of Directors of the Sawnee Electric Membership Corporation in Cumming has approved a retail rate decrease on energy bills being sent out from January through March.

The rate reduction will occur in Rate Schedule “R,” Wholesale Power Adjustment Clause (WPCA), a billing component included in most Sawnee EMC rate schedules. The current value of the WPCA will be reduced from $0.0250/kWh to $0.010/kWh for all applicable energy billed under this rate from January 2021 through March 2021.  This change will result in savings of approximately $22.50 for every 1,500 kWh of energy billed in this time period.

All Sawnee EMC residential accounts and most commercial accounts will be affected by the change. The actual amount of the planned rate reduction will vary for each member depending on the level of energy used each month by each account.

The 2021 WPCA reduction is part of Sawnee EMC’s ongoing COVID-19 pandemic response plan.
