Modeled rates

Lake Region Electric Cooperative's large commercial rate for west-central Minnesota lakes country (Pelican Rapids, Perham, and surrounding Otter Tail County). Demand is billed per kilowatt of the site's monthly peak with three filed seasonal rates — $20 in June–August, $14 in December–February, $8 in the other six months — month-weighted here; energy is a flat 7.9 cents. Rates fold Minnesota's 6.875% state sales tax on commercial electricity. The cooperative passes its wholesale power cost difference through monthly with no published factor, and the board can adjust rates; the library re-checks the posted rates quarterly. The class threshold is unpublished, but a demand-metered fast-charging site bills as large commercial. The $100 monthly facility charge is not modeled. Minnesota tax defaults apply on address resolve.
