How We Calculate Residential Bills

Most Tipmont residential members fall under Rate 1, Single-Phase Service, defined as having a monthly demand of 50 kW or less. Here is how your residential bill is calculated:

Charge Rate
Effective March 23, 2023
Cost
kWh charges 1,200
Kilowatt Hour (kWh) Charges represent the amount of electricity used during the billing period, calculated by multiplying your total kWh usage by the applicable energy rate in the Tipmont Rate Tariff. A kWh is a measurement of energy used over time and the basis for how electric bills are calculated. For the purposes of this example, we are using a bill with 1,200 kWh.
$0.1153 $138.36
Power Cost Adjustment
Power Cost Adjustment is an adjustment made to your electric bill to reflect fluctuations in the true cost of power purchased from Tipmont's provider, Wabash Valley Power. The fluctuation is largely caused by changes in the cost of fuel for generation. For the purposes of this example, we are using a Power Cost Adjustment of $0.004928.
$0.004928 $5.91
Service Charge
The Service Charge is a fixed monthly fee charged to all Tipmont members to recover the cost of installing and maintaining the minimum equipment needed for members to receive electric service from the cooperative.
$38.00 $38.00
Indiana Sales Tax 7% $12.76
Total Bill ... $195.03

Miscellaneous charges on your monthly bill may include, but are not limited to, reconnect fee, returned payment fee, trip fee, etc. For a full schedule of fees, please see our rate tariff.
