Power Supply Cost Recovery (PSCR)

The PSCR charge on your electric bill is a fuel-cost adjustment factor used by utilities to reconcile for fluctuations in purchased power costs. This charge can change monthly and may be a credit, charge, or no charge, depending on power supply costs. The PSCR is billed per kWh used. Current month and prior month charges are shown below.

Month Charge Per kWh
April 2026 $0.0125
May 2026 $0.0125

Power Supply Cost Recovery (PSCR)

Power Supply Cost Recovery, or PSCR, is a fuel-cost adjustment factor used by utilities to reconcile fluctuations in purchased power costs. The PSCR factor is a line item on your bill that reflects the actual cost of power supply. It adjusts monthly to ensure that you’re only paying for the true cost of the energy we provide, not more, not less. In essence, this cost helps Cloverland pay for wholesale power and fuel. Adjusting this factor when needed allows the co-op to stay on budget since fuel costs fluctuate.

PSCR increased from $0.0100 to $0.0125 per kilowatt-hour, effective January 2026.
Cloverland is a not-for-profit electric utility. The PSCR factor is a direct pass-through of power supply costs that allows the co-op to manage its budget. 56 cents on every dollar Cloverland spends goes directly towards power supply. That leaves just 44 cents to pay for materials, payroll and other costs to maintain our power lines and infrastructure. PSCR keeps our co-op from further dipping into the small portion used to meet our operating needs.

Think of it like the cost of your car – monthly payments stay the same (kWh rates), but gasoline prices fluctuate (PSCR), along with other costs to maintain the car.

With rising costs, Cloverland needs to be able to pay for the delivery of the electricity to all co-op members – residential, commercial and industrial. This PSCR adjustment ensures the co-op can cover increased power supply costs for all members.

While Cloverland works hard to stabilize rates, certain costs—such as fuel, transportation, and market energy prices—fluctuate beyond our control. The PSCR ensures these costs are recovered fairly and equitably by all members. We understand that any rate adjustment, however modest, has an impact on your budget. That’s why we remain focused on managing costs and advocating for affordable energy solutions at every opportunity.
