#RuralBroadbandNOW

Missouri communities deserve to THRIVE. Let's act now for high-speed internet!

The time for broadband across rural America is NOW. And for the first time ever, we stand on the verge of making it happen – but we need to make our voices heard. The Rural Broadband Acceleration Act – Senate bill 4201 – will expedite the availability of federal broadband funding and allow those planning to make high-speed broadband service available to thousands of rural communities to quickly start construction. This crucial piece of legislation has support from both Republican and Democratic House and Senate members, but we all must work together to bring it to pass. We deserve the economic growth and health that broadband brings. We deserve to THRIVE! Visit https://bit.ly/GORuralBroadbandNOW and sign the letter that will automatically be sent to our Senators urging them to support Senate bill 4201.
Rural America is our home. Act now and urge those who represent us in the Senate to do their part for rural broadband.

Service Availability Charge adjustment

Every electrical provider has a service availability charge or fixed cost grid charge. This charge is a flat fee designed to recover a portion of delivering energy to all members.

The service availability charge is an investment in poles, wires, transformers, regulators, tree trimming, taxes, and line maintenance. During severe storms there are never any charges added to the membership regardless of the destruction that has occurred. This is a part of the service availability charge because when or how often you flip the light switch or turn on the T.V. this is the expense to have electricity available when you want it. If one member uses 1 KWH of electricity and another member uses 1000 KWH, the cooperative still incurs the same cost. These include the cost to build the line, maintain the line, as well as the cost to deliver and serve electricity to both members. This is why the service availability charge exists and is so important. Different kinds of users require different configurations of lines, transformers and substations. Each configuration bears very different costs, which are allocated appropriately to each type of service or rate class. This approach ensures that one rate class is not paying for the needs of another rate class, keeping service fair and equitable.

Effective with the February 2020 bill, the availability charge will see an adjustment of .13 cents per day on residential rate. All other rates will be adjusted accordingly.
