Heads Up, BMU Customers

The Bryan Board of Public Affairs is considering changes to its electric rates that would amount to a slight increase in most residential customers bills, with decreases for large industrial customers. Most customers would pay more per kilowatt-hour of electric use, but less per month in power supply cost adjustments, which are variables based on power transmission costs and other factors. Officials say it will result in “reduced volatility” in customers’ bills. Board members are in favor of making BMU’s rates as attractive as possible to large, industrial companies.
