Notice of Proposed Change in Rates Charged for Electric Service Effective April 1, 2026
Dear Morgan County REA Member,
This notice is to officially inform you that the Board of Directors of Morgan County Rural Electric Association, Inc., is proposing certain changes to rates charged for electric service purchased on or after April 1, 2026.
The Morgan County REA Board of Directors’ guiding objective is to make electric energy available to the consumer-members of the cooperative at the lowest possible cost that is consistent with sound economic and business practices. As of January 1, 2026 our wholesale power provider Tri-State Generation & Transmission, increased the wholesale rate charged to MCREA for purchased power by 6.37%. The costs for MCREA to distribute that power have also increased significantly.
In response to these changes, an independent cost-of-service study was conducted late last year to guide a necessary rate change. As a result of the 2026 wholesale power rate increase and the recent cost-of-service study information, the MCREA Board of Directors has proposed an average overall rate increase of 6.81% for the 2026 electric rate classes. However, the impact on each rate class will vary based on the specific services required.
It is MCREA’s mission to serve members by providing safe, reliable energy as affordably as possible. On behalf of the Morgan County REA Board of Directors, thank you for your continued support of your local electric cooperative.
Sincerely,
David Frick, General Manager
