Current Electric Charges

Base Charge

The Base charge is based on costs associated with having power available at a

location whether or not electricity is used.

TERMS

Terms of service are defined as Residential, Small Commercial, Medium Commercial, Large Commercial, Medium Industrial, or Large Industrial. ICL defined as Inside City Limits; OCL defined as Outside City Limits.

This type of charge designates the rate multiplied by the kWh used for the service period. This charge

reflects the dollars the City retains in order to distribute electricity to your location.

POWER COST

The Power Cost reflects the dollars the City of Cuero pays to our wholesale power suppliers for the power that is then sold, at cost, to our customers. This charge is based on actual kWh consumption (electricity used).

The City of Cuero is an electric distribution location; we do not generate electricity. Each month the City receives a bill from the wholesale power supplier for the energy our customers use. The City passes that charge on to the customer.

METER MULTIPLIER

A meter multiplier is tied to each specific type of meter. An average residential home will have a meter using the multiplier of 1. However, larger residential and commercial accounts with a higher energy load may have a larger multiplier.
