About Our Rates

There is a power cost adjustment (PCA)charge on each bill.  The power cost adjustment is a variable energy rate that can fluctuate quarterly based on the cost of creating electricity and delivering it to PPS.  The PCA is used to prevent constant fluctuations in our base rates.

A customer charge appears on the bill each month.  The customer charge covers the cost of the minimum amount of equipment, infrastructure and manpower needed to deliver electricity to your home, regardless of how much electricity you use.  The current residential customer charge is $16.50 per month.
