 Generation charge: Charge for production of electricity.

 Transmission charge: Charge for moving high voltage electricity from a generation facility to the distribution lines of an
electric distribution company.
 Distribution charge: the cost to deliver electricity from the electric distribution facility to your home or business. Under
electric deregulation, this remains a PPL charge.
 Customer charge: a basic service charge to cover the costs for meter reading and billing. Under electric deregulation, this
remains a PPL charge.
You will receive one monthly bill from PPL for all your electricity charges. The bill will list both PPL’s customer and distribution
charges, and The Energy Co-op’s generation and transmission charges. Any questions regarding PPL’s customer or distribution
charges should be directed to PPL customer service at (800) 342-5775.
Your rate is based on your election at time of enrollment. Renewing members by default will be reenrolled with a variable rate, which
is subject to change each month. Renewing members who would like a fixed rate must notify The Co-op to receive this rate.
Available rates are listed below.
EcoChoice100 Residential - Fixed $0.1179 per kWh Rates expire as of July 2016 meter reading date.
The price for the usage portion of your bill (generation and transmission) will appear as the rate agreed to at time of enrollment or
reenrollment times the number of kWh of power used in the billing period (e.g., 700kWh x rate = total generation and transmission
charge). Your bill will also include customer and distribution charges from PPL, plus any federal, state, and local taxes.
Based on a monthly average usage of 700kWh, the following table provides you an estimate of your monthly electricity bill if you
receive service from PPL and your generation and transmission from The Energy Co-op. Your actual bill will vary based on your use
of electricity and your elected rate.

EcoChoice100 Terms & Conditions 1
In line with the 3rd Cooperative Principle, we ask our member-owners to pay $15 for their annual membership dues. Those facing
financial constraints are welcomed to ask for a dues waiver on an annual basis.
For fixed rates: Your agreement with us is through July 2016, although you may cancel at any time with 30 days notice. If you do
not cancel this agreement, The Energy Co-op will continue to provide electricity at our then-current pricing.
For fixed rates: Fixed rates are guaranteed through July 2016. When these terms approach the expiration date or if we propose to
change our terms of service, we will send you two advance written notices in separate mailings between 45 and 90 days before
either the expiration date or the effective date of the changes. We will explain your options in these two advance notices. If you do
not respond to these notices, your terms will convert to a month-to-month agreement that may be cancelled at any time without
penalty. You must notify The Co-op to remain on a fixed rate one month before your terms expire.
You may switch from The Energy Co-op at no cost or penalty at any time if you give 30 days’ written notice. The Energy Co-op may
cancel this agreement if you do not pay your bills on time or if you do not meet minimum or maximum consumption levels
determined by The Co-op. The Energy Co-op may also terminate this contract as a result of a change in law or other act beyond our
reasonable control, or if we cease to provide electricity in your local service territory. Cancellation will occur on the next applicable
meter read date.
PPL maintains several universal service programs for low-income, residential customers experiencing difficulty paying their monthly
utility bills. More information on these programs is available on PPL’s website or by calling PPL’s Payment Assistance service at 1-
800-358-6623.
Effective April 1, 2011, a customer's service may be terminated for failure to pay for generation service provided by an Electric
Generation Supplier. If your bill is not paid when due, the account will enter a collection process that may end in termination of
service. The best thing to do, if you cannot pay your bill in full, is to contact PPL and discuss payment arrangements and other
options.
The Energy Co-op currently honors net metering down to a zero dollar bill for your generation and transmission charges in any given
month, but does not carry forward surplus generation for credit in future months. Customers participating in net metering with PPL
should be aware that competitive electric generation suppliers are not required to net meter.
