How is the Cooperative timing its communications about the rate adjustment?
A. It is Sam Houston EC’s goal to pass pricing information on to our member-owners in a timely manner. Typically, a planned increase allows time to tell member-owners when a price adjustment can be expected. Increases due to factors such as rising fuel prices; unexpected, increased purchased power costs; inflation pressures; increased demand during peak generation periods; and power interruptions due to repairing and rebuilding lines due to storm damage, often give us less time to communicate about pricing adjustments. Sam Houston EC strives to give our member-owners as much notice as possible through a variety of methods. This may include newsletter articles, bill stuffers, news releases, etc.
