     Pontotoc Electric Power Association is a distributor of electricity which is generated by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), and TVA is our rate regulator. In April 2011, TVA implemented a new rate structure that has changed the way it bills Pontotoc Electric Power Association for wholesale power. This has affected all 155 distributors of TVA generated power across the valley. The new rate structure is tied to the actual cost of generating electricity — a factor which changes with the seasons. The new rates or “seasonal rates” gives consumers the ability to reduce their overall power bill by using less energy during seasons of peak power demand. During the extreme temperatures of summer and winter the demand for electricity is higher than the milder transition months of fall and spring. The new rate structure will reflect these variables. Under the new rate structure, TVA defines seasonal periods as summer (June, July, August and September); winter (December, January, February and March); and transition months (April, May, October and November). The seasonal rate structure will produce no additional revenues for Pontotoc Electric or TVA, which are not-for-profit organizations, providing among the lowest rates in the nation.
