Why is my bill higher this month?  Fuel Adjustment and Environmental Surcharge      Energy Saving Tips

Electric bills around Kentucky and other parts of the US have been higher recently. There are several reasons this is the case.  During winter months, members typically see higher electricity bills due to the energy needed to keep your home comfortable when outside temperatures drop. During the summer months, hot temperatures will cause your cooling units to run longer and harder thus producing a higher electric bill.  Heating Degree Information

In addition to this normal increase in usage, there was a significant increase in the Fuel Adjustment Clause (FAC) and Environmental Surcharge (ES). These two charges are not controlled by Inter-County Energy and Inter-County does not receive the money from these charges. Both the FAC and ES are pass-through charges from our power provider, East Kentucky Power Cooperative.
