In the summer of 2024, Blue Ridge Electric Cooperative overhauled its rate structure. The EmPOWERment rate was designed to give members more control over their bills and ease the demand on our regional power grid.
Since its initial launch, the cooperative has studied a new, pilot two-part rate program that was similar to the old rate before the introduction of EmPOWERment. We know our membership values options. Members can enroll in the two-part rate under certain agreed-upon conditions if they believe this format will benefit their household.
If you are interested in this pilot program, please call Blue Ridge Electric Cooperative at 800-240-3400.
