I feel very fortunate to have the one I have. It is a member owned co op and they try very hard to keep their rates reasonable. They issued capitial credits to everyone to help with the summer AC bills. Of course I shouldn't be saying this until I get a gander at the heat wave bill, but every other utility company is raising rates whereas ours has remained consistent. The next bill coming in will be well over 200 dollars I am sure. However, I was using AC and fans constantly everyday so it is expected.

Most of them here use my excuse to raise your rates.

I don’t like mine although every single interaction I’ve had with them was perfectly pleasant. But they raised our rates two years in a row (not yet this year), and it takes them forever to fix an outage. It took four days for my complex to get our electricity back this last time. I realize they follow a pattern, but that pattern leaves us last every time. In addition, even if it just a tree that took down a power line it can take up to 24 hours to fix. In addition, their estimate for it to be restored is always wrong, and they don’t provide updates.
On the other hand, if it is under 32 degrees and you have not paid your bill they will not cut you off, or if it gets to 95 degrees they won’t cut off your electricity. I admire that. I’ve never been in that situation, but I’m sure some people have.

It sounds like their heart is in the right place even if they are not efficient

I have no complaints with mine. That's really good that yours will be issuing a credit to help with the summer bills.
