2012 Electric Rate Increase
For the first time since 2009, SIEC must increase its electric rates by an average of 9.22 percent. The rate increase goes into effect for members' usage in February, and will be seen on bills due in March. Read more about why the increase is necessary and what members can do to help ease its impact, by clicking here.
