How Customer Revenue is Used

Industrial/Commercial Rates
(Effective July 1, 2010)
Ripley Power & Light’s customers enjoy some of the lowest electric rates in the country.
We buy our electricity from the Tennessee Valley Authority, which has a history of providing lower-cost electric power. The purchase of electricity, in fact, is a large amount of Ripley Power & Light’s electric cost. About 82 cents of every dollar paid by our customers for electricity is used to purchase energy from TVA.
Ripley Power & Light also offers a variety of commercial/industrial rate structures and incentives for industry and other large electric users.
Fuel Cost Adjustment
Tennessee Valley Authority's Board uses monthly Fuel Cost Adjustments in response to volatile swings in energy costs. This allows TVA to adjust its rates up or down each month to reflect the forecasted difference in fuel and purchased power costs.
Many utilities across the nation and most of TVA’s neighboring utilities use similar mechanisms to adjust their rates. Adjusting rates monthly has less impact on customers and prevents large movements in rates in either direction.
Ripley Power & Light passes through TVA's Fuel Cost Adjustment to our customers. It does not change our basis electric rates to our customers.
