2023 1Q Rates: Overall Remain Unchanged

A typical MEA member consumes approximately 673 kWh of electricity per month and can expect to see roughly no change to their monthly bill due to first quarter rate revisions in 2023. MEA’s Cost of Power Adjustment (COPA) is decreasing by 4.45% from the previous quarter, which is subject to RCA review and approval. The COPA decrease is being offset by a 2.5% increase in base rates, which took effect January 1,2023, and was approved by the RCA. MEA’s Board of Directors voted to increase base rates in the first quarter of 2023 by 2.5% due to inflationary increases to the cost of bringing power to members’ homes and businesses.

MEA's rates are evaluated quarterly, and rate changes must be submitted by our Board of Directors and approved by the RCA.
