SUMMARY: Santee Cooper is set to implement a new rate adjustment on April 1st that may affect customer bills, which could increase or decrease based on usage patterns. The utility serves 2 million customers and will charge an $8 demand rate per kilowatt during peak usage hours—3 p.m. to 6 p.m. from April to October, and 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. from November to March. Although the average bill may rise by about $11, customers can potentially save by avoiding peak usage times. Santee Cooper will hold an Energy Efficiency Workshop on Wednesday in Myrtle Beach to help customers reduce their bills.

An impending Santee Cooper rate adjustment that was approved in December is coming soon.

Santee Cooper provides electricity to two million people and clean drinking water to over 200,000. With the new rate adjustment, those users’ bills might go up or down, it’s up to the user.

Santee Cooper’s rate adjustment will take effect April 1, charging users a demand rate of eight dollars a kilowatt during the single highest hour of power used during a designated three-hour time frame, meaning the new rate applies to one hour a month.
