Rate Schedules & Tariff Analysis
Owen Electric's verified C&I rates show a clean step at 50 kW: under 50 kW, Schedule I Small Commercial is energy-only at $0.09674/kWh with a $25.84 customer charge and no demand charge; over 50 kW, Schedule II Large Power adds a $6.34/kW demand charge while dropping energy to $0.07466/kWh. The demand charge and the 15-minute peak that sets billing demand become the key cost levers for larger members, and primary-voltage service earns a 5% discount. A monthly Fuel Adjustment Clause and Environmental Surcharge adjust the final bill.

Data is typically delivered by email or portal within 5-10 business days.
