Residential Service (Schedule 1)

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.

Energy charge

What it costs at different usage levels

Effective rate includes the fixed charge, which is why it falls as usage rises.

The utility's own description

Available for single and three-phase single family residential service. Residential electric service is available for uses customarily associated with residential occupation, including lighting, cooking, heating, cooling, refrigeration, household appliances and other domestic purposes. Residential rates are based on service to single family units and are not applicable to multi-family dwellings served through a single meter. Where two or more families occupy a residential building, Kenergy may require, as a condition precedent to the application of the residential rate, the wiring in the building be so arranged as to permit each family to be served through a separate meter. In those cases where such segregation of wiring would involve undue expense to the Member, at the Member's option in lieu of the foregoing, electric service rendered to a multi-family residential building through a single meter will be classified as commercial and billed on the basis of service to a Member at an appropriate nonresidential rate. If a separate meter is used to measure the consumption to remotely located buildings, such as garages, barns, pump houses, grain bins or other outbuildings, or facilities, such as electric fences, it will be considered a separate service and be billed as a separate service at the applicable non-residential rate.
