Leesburg Electric is raising its Bulk Power Cost Adjustment fee by $.01 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) starting on October 1. This fee is part of your electricity bill and reflects the changing costs of fuel that the utility uses to generate power. The company decided to make this change in the fall and winter because people usually use less electricity during these months, which will help reduce the impact of the increase on customers’ bills.

After the increase, the total Bulk Power Cost Adjustment fee will be $.02 per kWh, which is a typical amount for this utility. For an average household using 1,000 kWh of electricity, this will add up to about $127.97 on their monthly bill.

The increase of $0.01 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) means that if you use 1,000 kWh of electricity in a month, your bill will go up by an additional $10 (1,000 kWh x $0.01). However, the overall impact might be less noticeable since the change is being implemented during the fall and winter months when energy use is typically lower.
