CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – EPB residential customers will see a decrease in
the cost of electric power, due to TVA’s quarterly Fuel Cost Adjustment
(FCA), on any bill printed on or after July 1, 2009. This is the third
FCA decrease in a row, following the past two quarters’ decreases for
all bills that were printed on or after January 1, 2009, and on or
after April 1, 2009.
On average, most residential customers use about 1300 kilowatt hours
per month – more in the summer and winter, less in the spring and fall.
With TVA’s upcoming FCA, a bill for 1300 kilowatt hours will be about
$3.90 less than it would have been this quarter, for the same amount of
power used.
However, depending on weather and, therefore, how much energy an
individual uses, TVA’s decrease may or may not make much difference on
a customer’s bill. That’s why EPB suggests customers visit them online
at www.epb.net for energy savings tips. Residential customers are also
encouraged to schedule a free EPB Home Energy Audit by calling (423)
648-1EPB (1372).
