Sixteen Seek Project Contract Details for REA Costs
The article explains fixed costs for REA projects and shows monthly bills for light, appliances, and farm use. A 40 kWh minimum covers a home with washing, ironing, radio, and water pump, plus $210 for a refrigerator. For a 100 hen farm, lighting adds 13 cents monthly. milk cooling adds a fraction, and cooking would cost about $2.85 monthly. Delays often arise from securing rights of way, which REA funds cannot cover.
