This rate is subject to adjustment for cost under provisions of Rate Schedules TC and CA, plus other adjustments as may be approved from time to time by the MPUC.

  • Actual KWH times the Transmission Adjustment Factor.

  • Actual KWH times the Conservation Assessment factor. ( The Conservation Assessment (CA) is a charge to pay for the energy conservation assessment as mandated by the Maine Public Utilities Commission (MPUC).

  • Actual KWH times the Low-Income Assessment  (Proceeds from the new line item (added October, 2022) will add to the amount already paid by utilities to fund the Low-Income Assistance Program. LIAP provides financial assistance to low-income residential consumers in paying their electric bill.)

Available for residential service to seasonal Dwellings, which are occupied only intermittently for seasonal purposes as defined in the Terms and Conditions of the
Cooperative.

Delivery of a single-phase, 60 hertz, at available secondary voltages.

Upon re-establishment of service to a seasonal customer there shall be a non-refundable fee of 82.00. This fee shall not apply to the establishment of service for a new seasonal customer. A person shall not be deemed a "new seasonal customer" under this provision if that person is a member of the household of any person who, within the previous 12 months, has been a seasonal customer of the Company at the location at which service is requested.

The above rates are net. Payment of the current monthly bill shall be within 25 days from the date of mailing. In the event that the bill is not paid within the 25 day period, the charges become subject to a late payment charge as established in the Terms and Conditions.

EMEC's rates are designed to cover the cost of serving each rate class. Because seasonal accounts cost as much to serve as other accounts but do not pay their cost in per-kWh charges, a larger portion of the seasonal rate is its monthly flat charge. If a seasonal service is disconnected and reconnected less than eight months later, a seasonal reconnect fee will be charged, equal to eight seasonal flat charges. After Dec 7, 2024 that seasonal reconnection fee will amount to $204.80.
