Explore Your Energy Options

We’re proud to provide you efficient energy solutions that fit your lifestyle. As a Poudre Valley REA member, you can choose your rate schedule, billing option, reward programs, and eco-friendly add-ons.

Which of these options best describe you?

Traditional Energy User

Our most straightforward rate for residential members is ideal for energy users who like a simple, hands-free approach to their energy management.

Rate: A – Single-Phase ≤  37.5 kW
  • $24.50 Facility Charge /month
  • $0.09108 Energy Charge /kWh
  • $0.43 Demand Charge /kW

You pay the same rate all the time, no matter when you’re using electricity. Your bill will fluctuate along with the season.

Billing: Traditional

Your bill is rendered monthly after your use of our electric service.

Pay the energy rate (per kWh) for the total amount of electricity you use each month and the demand charge (per kW) for the highest amount of energy you demand from us all at once.

Add-ons

Time of Use

Get the advantage of lower-cost off-peak electricity prices through a Time-of-Use rate.

Perfect if you can shift your energy use or for people with programmable smart devices, thermostats, and appliances.

Rate: Atou – Single-Phase ≤  37.5 kW
  • $24.50 Facility Charge /month
  • $0.16800 On-Peak Energy Charge /kWh
  • $0.05970 Off-Peak Energy Charge /kWh
  • $0.43 Demand Charge /kW

On-Peak: 4pm – 9pm Monday through Saturday except select holidays.

Off-Peak: 9pm – 4pm Monday through Saturday, all day Sunday, and select holidays.

Demand Charge /kW – Peak demand measures the maximum amount of electricity used at one time in a 15-minute window during the billing month, regardless of On-Peak and Off-Peak times. Spread electrical usage to reduce the peak demand charge.

Add-ons

Pay As You Go

If you want to pay for electricity as you use it – like fueling up your car or using a prepaid cellphone – then select Pre-Paid Metering.

There’s no late fees or deposits, no disconnect or reconnect fees. You decide when and how much to pay.

Rate: APPM – Single-Phase ≤  37.5 kW
  • $24.50 Facility Charge /month
  • $0.09108 Energy Charge /kWh
  • $0.43 Demand Charge /kW
Billing: Prepaid

Start with a positive balance of $50. Then daily energy consumption is calculated and deducted from the credit balance available in your account.

When the funds run low, payment reminder notifications are sent by text and/or email. To maintain service, a positive balance must be achieved, with payments of at least $5 or greater.

Add-ons

I Don't Like Surprises

Take the shock out of fluctuating bills.

Billing Choice #1: levelized billing

Avoid winter and/or summer highs bills by averaging your amount due each month.

A rolling average method is used so your bill amount will vary from month to month, but you never have a settle-up or surprise month.

Billing Choice #2: Budget Billing

Set the average monthly bill cost as your amount due. Know what you’re going to pay every month.
