As a non-profit municipal electric utility, we work hard to keep our electric rates as low as possible while continuing to provide reliable service.
Current Electric Rates
Richland City Council approved an 8.5% rate increase for all customer classes (Residential, Commercial and Industrial) beginning 1/1/2026. Rates are primarily determined by wholesale power costs, which is the utility's most significant operating cost, comprising over 60% of RES' expenses.
Note: The link to "Current Electric Rates" is in the process of being updated and does not reflect the 8.5% rate increase beginning 1/1/2026.
