Effective April 29, 2025, Petit Jean Electric Cooperative has updated its electric rates following a regulatory review by the Arkansas Public Service Commission. The changes include a reduction in the monthly service charge from $35 to $31, alongside slight increases in the per-kilowatt-hour energy rates for both summer and winter. These adjustments aim to more accurately reflect the cost of providing reliable service, based on a comprehensive cost-of-service study. Most members will see only a modest impact on their bills, with an estimated $2.40 increase for 1,000 kWh of usage. Updates also apply to other rate classes such as large power users and outdoor lighting.
