Where Slope Electric Coop Inc sits
It is a smaller system, serving 3,204 residential customers, which means its fixed costs are spread across a narrow base. At 13.81¢ per kilowatt-hour it tracks the North Dakota average of 13.61¢ closely, which is what you would expect from a utility large enough to shape that average itself.
Its customers use more electricity than the national norm, 1,126 kilowatt-hours a month against 871, which amplifies whatever 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.
