Petersburg Electric Board reshapes harbor electric charges
The Petersburg Electric Utility Board held a hearing on a proposed ordinance to set new rates for residents and harbor users. A 20 percent surcharge applies city limits and 25 percent outside, with existing 10 percent non resident premium. Boat harbor fuses could raise bills by 300 to 400 percent due to nonmetered connections. The board aims for about 0.035 per kWh for domestic use, using 80 percent fuse utilization, though harbor fuses now compute bills by fuse size. The ordinance was presented to City Council, with a note that 50 percent usage would replace the 80 percent rule, awaiting two more readings.
