Wheatbelt Electric Slashes Rates For Most Patrons
Wheatbelt Public Power District cuts rates effective with September billing. The unified tiered price reduces bills for farm, residential, commercial, school and church users in Dalton Gurley Sunol and Lorenzo while irrigation wells and industrial users miss the cut. The new schedule lowers per kilowatt charges across blocks with an end rate of 1 cent per KWH, saving over 70 000 dollars yearly and cutting costs for electric heat and farm production.
