Where Warren Rural Elec Coop Corp sits
It serves 60,701 residential customers in Kentucky. At 11.98¢ per kilowatt-hour it is one of the cheaper places to buy electricity in Kentucky, 20% under the statewide average of 14.98¢.
Consumption here is high, 1,262 kilowatt-hours a month against a national average of 871. Long cooling seasons, large detached homes and electric resistance heating are the usual causes, and together they matter more to the bill than the rate does.
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.
