San Miguel Power Association Proposed Rate Tariffs
San Miguel Power Association's rates are designed to meet expected revenue requirements and to equitably distribute the cost of service to members while maintaining the financial stability of the cooperative.
Recently, our wholesale electricity provider, Tri-State Generation and Transmission, has announced a 6.2% rate increase, beginning in August of 2024. This, in combination with inflationary pressures on the prices of tools and materials, prompted the SMPA Board of Directors to consider a $3 increase to its monthly access charge in 2025.
Additionally, the Board is considering a Time-based rate to take effect in May of 2025. Below, you can see a comparison of the current rates to the increased access fee and time-based rates.
