Thank you for conserving power in June

Petersburg Municipal Power & Light is grateful for our customers’ electrical conservation during SEAPA’s annual hydroelectric shutdown and throughout the June utility billing period.  This year’s fuel adjustment rate is half the rate it was last year.  Attributing factors include the Blind Slough Hydro’s higher output and efficiency due to its recent rebuild, a shorter than normal SEAPA maintenance shutdown, lower fuel pricing, as well as our community’s conservation efforts. These factors combined to cut diesel burn by 14,000 gallons, and diesel expense by $76,000, when compared to 2023!

The 2024 fuel adjustment rate has been calculated to be:   1.3 cents per kilowatt-hour

This rate will be applied to customers’ June kWh usage and will be added to July’s utility bill statements.   You will be able to check the adjustment charge by multiplying the fuel adjustment rate by the electrical usage at your home or business from your June utility bill.

Thank you for making a conscious effort to conserve power in June.  Your cooperation has helped to lower the impact of the fuel adjustment for your household and/or business, and for all Petersburg Municipal Power and Light customers.
