The REMC’s 2026 rate adjustment is our first since 2022, but we know electricity isn’t the only cost members are worried about. According to the U. S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics, car insurance and medical care are up 10% since 2022, and prices for many household groceries are up more than 20% over that same time. While any increase is challenging, we are working to keep our increases small and Infrequent, charging only what is necessary to provide you with reliable service and meet the demands of our growing communities.
