LPC rate comparison to Colorado - January 2011

LPC residential customers pay 37% less than the average electric rate in Colorado. Small commercial customers pay 34% less, large commercial customers pay 32% less and industrial customers pay 29% less than the average electric rates in Colorado.

Residential 3-tiered rate

The Residential Energy rate structure saves on customer utility bills when they use less electricity by using a three-tiered increasing rate:

If you use 1,750 kWh in a month, your electric bill may look like this:

Tier 1	750 kWh @ 6.73 ¢	=	$50.48
Tier 2	750 kWh @ 7.42¢	=	$55.65
Tier 3	250 kWh @ 8.30 ¢	=	$20.75
	Monthly service fee		$ 8.65
	Total electric bill		$135.53

The increasing three-tiered rate does not apply to residential customers with all-electric homes who choose the Residential Demand rate.

This information is a summary of residential rates. Read LPC's complete description of Rates & Regulations Governing Electric Service.
