Navopache Electric Coop, Inc electricity rates

It serves 40,076 residential customers in Arizona. Its 13.43¢ per kilowatt-hour sits 11.8% below the Arizona average of 15.23¢.

Its customers use very little electricity by national standards, 612 kilowatt-hours a month against 871 nationally. Dense housing, a mild climate or heating that runs on gas rather than electricity all push consumption down, and any of them can leave a household with a modest bill despite a high rate.

Owned by the customers it serves, with directors elected by members. Co-ops are frequently outside state rate regulation. That matters because a bill is not only the cost of generating electricity: it also carries the cost of the network, and who owns that network changes how it is paid for.

Navopache Electric Coop, Inc offers time-of-use pricing to residential customers. 6,400 households were enrolled, about 16% of its residential base.

These plans are opt-in almost everywhere. They reward households that can move laundry, dishwashing, water heating or electric vehicle charging out of the late-afternoon peak, and they cost more than the standard rate for households that cannot. How to tell which group you are in.
