Notice of Purchased Power Adjustment Colorado River Agency – Electrical Services
Pursuant to the Bureau of Indian (BIA) Affairs regulations governing our electric power utilities, found at 25 CFR 175, notice is hereby given that the Colorado River Agency-Electrical Services (CRA-ES) will remove the purchased power cost (PCA) component of our rates. Since June 29, 2023, all customers have been charged a PCA of $0.04 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) consumed. Effective on May 15, 2025, the PCA for all customers will be reduced to $0.00 per kWh consumed.
BIA completed its periodic review of power supply costs and determined the PCA is no longer necessary in part due to current market costs, as well as reduced demand for purchased power. After undergoing a series of repairs, CRA-ES’s three hydro-electric generator units are expected to return to full load capacity in May 2025. We will continue to monitor energy rates and may resume the PCA as needed to meet our financial and statutory requirements.
