CITY OF BRENHAM: RESIDENTS SHOULD NOT SEE LARGE INCREASES TO THEIR ELECTRIC BILL

  

With many questions surrounding how electric bills will be impacted as a result of this week’s winter storm, the City of Brenham says its customers should be mostly unaffected.

Brenham residents receive electricity from either the city or Bluebonnet Electric Cooperative.  Currently, City of Brenham electric residential customers pay $93.55 per 1,000 kWh.

The city maintains a rate stabilization balance in its electric utility to absorb most, if not all, electric supply cost increases due to weather anomalies, like this week’s arctic blast.

As a result, the city says its electric customers “should not see dramatic increases in their electric utility bill because of this storm.”  It says the rate stabilization balance will be used to keep electric bills affordable.
