Electric Bills Going Up This Spring
Posted on March 18, 2010
After a year of falling electricity prices, power rates in the Tennessee Valley are headed up again this spring. The typical Tennessee household will pay nearly 5 dollars more a month for electricity in April under the latest fuel cost adjustment to TVA’s electric rates.
Another change could soon be coming to your electric bill. You'll be paying more for usage during peak times in an effort to help the Tennessee Valley Authority conserve energy. Distributors, like the Lawrenceburg utility system, are considering two scheduling options, trying to decide which will cost you less. They have until May to let TVA know which of the plans they’ll take. Either way, your bill most likely will go up. One of the options calls for a different rate depending on the season of the year. Electricity would be higher in the Summer and Winter and less when demand is less in the spring and fall.
