Rates

Habersham EMC has different rate schedules in order to most fairly “share the load” among their member-owners. Below is the explanation of the WPCA, as well as the two most commonly used rate schedules. If you have any questions regarding your rate, please contact Member Services.

What is WPCA on my bill?

WPCA stands for Wholesale Power Cost Adjustment. WPCA is a rate that adjusts for changes in purchase power costs (such as generation capacity and fuel). The monthly charge can be an addition, subtraction or zero and can fluctuate from month to month.
