Where Carroll Electric Coop Corp sits

Consumption is close to the national norm at 899 kilowatt-hours a month against 871, so the rate translates fairly directly into the bill.
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.
