SCIP Pay My Bill

NOTICE OF POWER COST ADJUSTMENT

Pursuant to the Bureau of Indian Affairs regulations governing our electric power utilities, found at 25 CFR 175, notice is hereby given that the San Carlos Irrigation Project (SCIP) is adjusting the purchased Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) component of our rates. Effective March 1, 2026, the PCA will be removed. Our existing electric power rates published in the Federal Register (87 FR 77628, Dec. 19, 2022) remain in effect.

SCIP completed its periodic review of power supply costs for calendar year 2025 and projected power costs for 2026 and determined that a removal of the PCA is appropriate. We will continue to monitor energy rates and adjust the PCA as needed to meet our financial and statutory requirements.

Please direct questions via e-mail to scippca@bia.gov or mail to San Carlos Irrigation Project, P.O. Box 250, Coolidge, Arizona, 85128.

Rates

The most recent electric rate adjustment was enacted on January 18, 2023. Since then, SCIP has imposed power purchase cost adjustments to pay for power supply costs not covered by the regular rate. The most recent purchase power cost adjustment was on May 1, 2024. This adjustment assessed all customers except Irrigation Project Pumps $0.025 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) consumed, in addition to the published electric power rates. SCIP is conducting a new cost-of-service rate study to determine whether the electric power rates effective on January 18, 2023, should be adjusted.

Residential

15.93

The average price a residential customer in the United States pays for electricity is 15.93 cents per kWh
Commercial

19.77

The average price a commercial customer in the United States pays for electricity is 19.77 cents per kWh

What are the Fees?

SCIPs rates and fees are competitive with other utilities because SCIP evaluates the financial basis for the purchase power cost adjustor quarterly to determine if or when it can be reduced or eliminated.
