Looking at your bill and wondering why it’s higher? During the hottest months of the year, air conditioners work harder and homes often use more electricity. At the same time, increased demand across the electric grid makes wholesale electricity more expensive.
Dakota Electric’s summer rate is in effect each June, July and August to reflect these higher costs. That means a higher summer bill can be the result of both increased electricity use and a higher seasonal rate. As temperatures cool, electricity use and Dakota Electric’s seasonal rate typically decrease. To learn more visit www.dakotaelectric.com/save-energy-save-money.
