Base Rate

The demand and energy charges cover the cost to deliver electricity to your location, which includes the purchase of power and the operation and maintenance of the electric system. KWH (kilowatt hours), or usage, refers to your energy consumption during the month. KW (kilowatts), or demand, reflects the capacity needed to provide the energy to you.
Universal Systems Benefit Program
