How much is the demand charge going to be?

January 28, 2019

The residential demand charge will be $0.26 per kilowatt (kW). The highest demand you require in any one-hour time period (during FEC’s peak hours) in your monthly billing cycle will determine your charge.

Residential Bill Example:

Old Bill vs New Bill
A fairly average residential member using 1,100 kWh with a demand of 5.79 kW would see a $1.51 demand charge (5.79 kW x $0.26/kW = $1.51), and a reduction of $1.23 in their energy charge, resulting in a $0.28 change to their total bill.
