Fees and Charges
As a non-profit, locally owned cooperative, Northcentral Electric works to keep rates and fees associated with electric as low as possible. Northcentral’s service fees are based on our cost and charged so that members not requiring these special services will not have to share in the expenses.
$50.00 Membership Fee – Each individual or business that requires electric service must become a member of the cooperative. Upon termination of service, your membership will be applied to the final bill and refunded.
$25.00 Hook Up Fee – Required for all Mobile Home connections, new connection or commercial property, and temporary power for new construction.
$50.00 Collection Fee – Required when a Northcentral employee must visit a member’s location to collect a past due bill.
$50.00 Reconnection Fee – Required when a member’s account is disconnected for nonpayment. This applies to any time 24 hours/day and 7 days/week.
$20.00 Return Check Fee – Required for any return check. An attempt to process the check will be done 3 times. If the check is not honored within the 3 times Northcentral will charge the return check fee.
$308.50 Meter Tampering Fee – Required for a meter that shows signs of meter tampering. This fee includes $250.00 tampering fee, $50.00 service charge, and $8.50 lock band. This fee can change based on damages to Northcentral equipment and suspected unbilled usage.
