RATE MENU
SMALL SINGLE-PHASE POWER (RATE CODE 01, 02)
Available for single-phase service for all uses subject to rules and regulations of the Association and execution of an Application for Membership and Electric Service.
If the metered monthly demand exceeds 20 kilowatts (kW) for nine of the past 12 months, the member’s bill will be calculated under the Large Single-Phase Rate Schedule until such a time that the member’s kW demand is less than 20 kW for 12 consecutive months.
The maximum current during the startup of individual motors served under the schedule shall not exceed 260 amps at 240 volts as authorized in advance by Meeker Cooperative.
Monthly Rate
- Fixed charge: $46.50
Energy Charge
- Summer (Jun – Aug): $.123/kWh

Maximum Demand
The maximum billing demand shall be the greatest 15-minute demand (subject to power factor adjustment) during the month for which the bill is rendered, as indicated, or recorded by a demand meter. Demand will be read to the nearest 0.01 kilowatt.
Minimum Charge
The standard size transformer for the Small Single-Phase service is 15 Kilovolt-ampere (kVA). Your electric service may require a larger transformer than a 15 kVA unit because of the type of equipment you have connected, for example, a welder, grain dryer, or any equipment with a large electric motor(s). Meeker Co-op will install the transformer needed to meet your electric needs.
The minimum monthly charge for Small Single-Phase Power is $46.50 per month where the required transformer is 15 kVA or less. For members' services requiring additional transformer capacity, the minimum monthly charge shall be:

Other Service Requirements
Power Cost Adjustment (PCA)
The PCA applies to all rate classes except energy management program rates. The PCA is a charge or credit on your monthly bill to pass through increases or decreases in the cost of purchased power. The PCA is applied to the kWh usage and is listed as a separate line item on your bill.
Power Factor Adjustment
The member agrees to maintain as near unity power factor as practicable. Meeker Cooperative reserves the right to measure such power factor at any time. Should such measurements indicate that the average power factor is less than 90 percent, the demand for billing purposes shall be the demand as recorded by the demand meter multiplied by 90 percent and divided by the percent power factor.
Sales Taxes and Fees
All rates are subject to applicable sales taxes and fees.
Deposits
Small Three-Phase Service: Every new service application requires a soft credit check from On-Line Utility Services. If the soft credit check is negative, a $400 deposit (minimum) is required to obtain electric service. This deposit will be held until the member leaves the Meeker Co-op service area. The deposit will be applied to the final bill and any balance returned to the member. Meeker Cooperative pays interest annually on all deposits. Members 60 days past due or disconnected for a delinquent account will pay a minimum $400 deposit or a two-month average bill (whichever is greater).
Large Single Phase, Large Three Phase, Large Power Peak Alert, Irrigation Services: A deposit of $20 times the total installed kVA shall be required on all Demand Billed accounts for any entity without good credit as determined by the Cooperative.
