Commercial Rates
Our rates are set by our Board of Directors based on the projected cost of energy, typically on an annual basis, so you’ll have a steady, predictable outlook on your rates. Depending on which rate option you choose (Lean, Clean, or 100% Green), you’ll see a cost savings or premium on your business’ electricity bill.
We offer three options for your electricity designed to fit the diverse needs of our business customers. Our commercial rates vary depending on the type of option you choose:
