The blended wholesale power cost increase is approximately 2%. <br />There was some shifting in Great River Energy's (GRE) rate design to recover less revenue from <br />demand and more from energy and transmission. It should also be noted that GRE went to <br />considerable lengths to reduce their rate increase from the preliminary numbers. This is good for <br />ERMU this yeaz, but the forecast for GRE's 2012 rates are not as favorable. The proposed 2011 rates <br />aze: <br />Residential <br />Basic Monthly Charge $9.00 <br />Summer Energy Chazge (May-Sep) $0.1165/kWh <br />Winter Energy Chazge (Oct-Apr) $0.1040/kWh <br />(This results in an increase for a typical residential customer of 2.1 %) <br />Non-Demand Commercial <br />Basic Monthly Charge $16.00 <br />Summer Energy Charge (May-Sep) $0.1120/kWh <br />Winter Energy Charge (Oct-Apr) $0.0929/kWh <br />(This results in an increase for a typical non-demand commercial customer of 2.1 %) <br />Demand Commercial <br />Basic Monthly Charge $50.00 <br />Summer Demand Charge (May-Sep) $15.89/kW <br />Winter Demand Chazge (Oct-Apr) $11.27/kW <br />Energy Charge $0.0558/kWh <br />(This results in an increase for a typical demand commercial customer of 1.8%) <br />
