To Qualify for the Electric Heat Rate Program:
McLean Electric Cooperative will only sub-meter 240 Volt electrical heating circuits. These include baseboards, cove heat, wall units, unit heaters, boilers, and electric furnaces.
- To qualify for the electric heat rate, the member will need to purchase a meter socket and current transformer (CT) from McLean Electric. The member will receive a separate invoice; it will not be added to your electric bill statement.
- The member or their electrician can pick up the equipment.
- The meter socket must be installed on the outside of the building. Once installation is complete, please notify MEC so our meter technician can verify and install the meter into the meter socket.
- All sub-metered heat usage will qualify for the heating rate of 6.2¢ per kWh with a non-coincidental peak (NCP) charge of $1.00/kW and a $5.00 monthly base charge.
- This heat rate is non-controllable, meaning McLean Electric will not turn off the electric heat at any time.
- Entire service panels are not allowed to be CT'd - only individual heat circuits.
- The electric heat rate of 6.2¢ per kWh is only available from October 1st through April 30th.
- During the non-heating months, any electric heat usage will be billed through the main meter at the regular rate.
