Brunswick Electric Membership Corporation LGS — EV fast-charging electricity cost

Brunswick EMC LGS is the filed rate schedule ForgeAsset models for DC fast-charging sites in Brunswick Electric Membership Corporation territory in North Carolina. Energy prices at 6.6¢/kWh–11.5¢/kWh by time of day; the demand side bills $5.83/kW of monthly peak. For one reference Supercharger site held constant across the whole library, that works out to 21.2¢/kWh per dispensed kWh — rank 16 of 86 filed tariffs (1 = least expensive).

Modeled rates

Brunswick Electric Membership Corporation's large general service rate for southeastern North Carolina — most of Brunswick and Columbus counties, including Shallotte, Supply, and the Brunswick beach towns. Demand is billed per kW of the site's anytime monthly peak (15-minute measurement) with no ratchet clause; energy is seasonal time-of-use — a summer afternoon and a winter morning on-peak window — month-weighted here, and the rates fold North Carolina's 7% sales tax on electricity. The cooperative's wholesale power cost adjustment rider carries no posted adder at this pass, and the board can adjust rates at any meeting; the library re-checks the posted tariff quarterly. The book also files a coincident-peak rate for third-party-owned EV chargers, which bills part of demand on the hour of the cooperative's wholesale peak — a structure this model does not express — and an off-peak-advantage rate whose two-part demand charge bills above this schedule at typical fast-charging utilization. North Carolina tax defaults apply on address resolve.

The rest of the North Carolina picture

The tariff is one layer. State taxes, incentives, clean-fuels programs, and the charging market shape the remainder — Tesla Supercharger ROI in North Carolina covers them, and the US Supercharger Economics Map shows every US Supercharger over utility territories colored by this same effective-cost derivation.
