What this tariff charges

Energy rates

The charged price is the base rate plus its adjustment. Adjustments carry fuel and rider costs and are frequently most of the bill, so a comparison built on the base rate alone is meaningless.

What it costs at different usage levels

Effective rate includes the fixed charge, which is why it falls as usage rises. This is a time-of-use tariff, so the result also depends on when power is used; an average residential pattern is assumed. Details →

The utility's own description

This schedule is available to single family residences, individually metered living units in multiple occupancy buildings, and private rooming houses for all residential uses of electric service including lighting, cooking, house heating, water heating, refrigeration, air conditioning, household appliances, and ordinary domestic uses. The maximum size motor permitted on this rate schedule is ten (10) horsepower. This rate schedule is for single-phase service. A "residential" ("domestic") customer under this residential rate classification is a customer who purchases electricity for "domestic use." "Domestic use" under this rate classification includes that portion of electricity that is ultimately consumed at a single-family or individually metered multiple-family dwelling, and shall apply to all such purchases regardless of whether the customer is the ultimate consumer. This schedule is intended to satisfy the provisions of Section 144.030(23) RSMo by establishing and maintaining a system and rate classification of "residential" to cause the residential sales and purchases of electricity under this rate schedule to be considered as sales for domestic use. Where a portion of a residence unit is used for non-residential purposes, the appropriate general service schedule is applicable to all service. However, if the wiring is arranged so that the service for residential purposes and for non-residential purposes can be metered separately, this schedule will be applied to the residential service. Service to hotels, recognized rooming or boarding houses or to the halls, basement or other common use portions of an apartment building will not be supplied under this schedule.
