Matanuska Electric Association (MEA) Three-Phase — EV fast-charging electricity cost

MEA Three-Phase is the filed rate schedule ForgeAsset models for DC fast-charging sites in Matanuska Electric Association territory in Alaska. Energy prices at 20.7¢/kWh flat; the demand side bills $9.29/kW of monthly peak. For one reference Supercharger site held constant across the whole library, that works out to 42.7¢/kWh per dispensed kWh — rank 54 of 86 filed tariffs (1 = least expensive).

Modeled rates

Matanuska Electric's three-phase commercial rate for Wasilla and Palmer: flat energy where the quarterly cost-of-power adjustment roughly matches the base rate, plus a moderate demand charge. The current quarter's adjustment carries a high true-up, which places the folded rate at the conservative end of the year. The schedule resets quarterly, next in October 2026.

The filed rate book for this territory records no EV-specific commercial rate, so the modeled cost is the standard schedule. Demand follows the model's conservative convention — 150 kW per stall billed every month, the worst-case coincident peak — so a site whose metered peak runs below that would see a lower demand line.

What the reference site pays here

Reference site: 8 Tesla V4 stalls at 235 kWh/stall/day (57,183 kWh dispensed per month), a 150kW per-stall demand assumption, the model's default time-of-use mix, and a 12% loss gross-up — identical to the full utility ranking, where this tariff sits at position 54 of 86.

The rest of the Alaska picture

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

Matanuska Electric Association (MEA) Three-Phase — questions

What does Matanuska Electric Association (MEA) charge for energy on Three-Phase?

The modeled rates are 20.7¢/kWh flat. At the model's default time-of-use mix (30% peak, 45% off-peak, 25% super-off-peak) that blends to 20.7¢/kWh.

Does Three-Phase carry a demand charge?

Yes: $9.29/kW of monthly peak. For a reference 8-stall site at 150 kW per stall that comes to about $11,148 per month.

What does electricity cost per kWh dispensed on this tariff?

For the reference site — 8 Tesla V4 stalls dispensing 235 kWh per stall per day, with a 12% loss gross-up — the all-in utility cost works out to 42.7¢/kWh per dispensed kWh, rank 54 of 86 tariffs in the library (1 = least expensive).
