Power rate decrease ahead for Westminster
In a city known for high electric power rates, the charge will drop starting next week. Westminster City Council approved a new power rate structure that applies to in-city customers. The new structure has one basic residential rate of 14.37 cents per kilowatt-hour, and eliminates the former two-tiered rate structure. The decrease will be even greater for those customers who are part of a program to have regulators that, during peak load times, allows the city to reduce a customer’s usage. The new rates go into effect on October 1.
