At 4 Rivers Electric Cooperative, our goal is to provide reliable, affordable electricity to our members, while ensuring our rates fairly reflect the cost of delivering that service. Our tariffs are reviewed periodically to maintain transparency, regulatory compliance and fairness across all rate classes.
