Kenergy explains higher January bills

Several factors pushed up average January 2017 bills about 60 percent or higher, as compared to the prior year.

Those factors were members’ higher usage, loss of the reserve fund credit, billing gap recovery and a small rate increase.

  • Weather extremes affect energy bills more than any other single factor. Higher usage due to colder temperatures accounted for about 30 percent of the year-over-year increase. According to regional National Weather Service data, the same billing period a year ago was much warmer. Therefore, members used 30 percent more electricity during the same billing period this year.
