Who decides when a rate change happens and what it will be?

SCI REMC’s member-elected Board of Directors and executive staff continuously monitor the organization’s financial stability to determine if a rate change is necessary based on a cost-of-service study.​

The Board of Directors then decides what the rates will be based on the following rate-making principles:​

• Rates should generate the revenue required to operate the Cooperative, including appropriate operating margins​
• Operating costs and margin requirements should be spread across all member classes equitably​
• Rates should reflect the cost of serving each member class.
