Matanuska Electric Association announced Monday that they plan to raise rates by about 2 and a half cents per kilowatt hour, or the equivalent of 26 dollars more a month for the average residential user.
The increase takes effect this month and is about a 17 percent increase. MEA officials say they have increased rates due to a rate hike in Chugach Electric Association’s rates.
