The power cost adjustment, which is established on a quarterly basis, is dependent upon Wabash Valley Power Association. In general, it is based on fuel cost associated with generation and distribution of power.

 

The consumer charge is separate from the basic cost of electricity. This includes the cost of providing service from personnel to equipment and buildings necessary to deliver the best possible service.Also, listed on your bill statement is a month-by-month bar chart of electricity energy usage over the last 13 months. If you should have further questions, please contact Parke County REMC Customer Service Associates, who are ready to answer any questions you may have regarding your bill.

​

Demand Billing

Commercial, industrial, and irrigation accounts are billed with the same charges as above but based on demand. Demand charge will vary from account to account depending upon the peak amount of energy that the account demands. This can benefit the member and cooperative based on leveling the peak over a period of time.

​

Return Check and E-check Fee

Members are notified by phone or mail if a check or echeck is returned for non-sufficient funds. The account will be automatically charged a $30.00 Return Check Fee. The fee is based on the Consumer Credit Code. Returned checks must be replaced with cash, money order, or credit card.
