As we closed the books for 2008, Garkane was fortunate to break-even financially. This is why there was not a capital credit refund in December. This is the result of investment in new facilities, which required new borrowing from our banker and increasedour interest costs substantially. Garkane has a very difficult and complex system to operate and maintain. With all elements of the industry, generation, transmission, and distribution, we are unlike most rural electric cooperatives. Most electric cooperatives are distribution only, without any generation or transmission facilities. We serve about 12,000 consumer-members, over 2,130 miles of line. So there is only a small customer base over which to spread costs. Garkane’s power-lines traverse many public lands (ie. Parks, Monuments, National Forests, BLM lands, etc.). Rights-of-Way are very difficult and extremely costly to obtain. Many environmental studies have to be completed and maintenance work in these pristine areas is often completed by helicopter rather than by normal access and procedures. The board increased rates modestly in 2008, including minimum billings. Garkane continues to send out many zero usage billings. The infrastructure costs to serve these low-usage accounts are the same for an account using normal usage (approximately 750 KWH). As the board looked towards 2009, and our budget projections, we cut expenses in many areas. As we all experience the effects of this economic downturn, the loss of jobs, and tighter credit for economic expansion, we are all affected. As a result, for 2009 we have cut our Member Appreciation Barbecues, our 70th Anniversary Celebration activities, as well as many other costs, and will combine other meetings throughout the year. We plan to do all of the upcoming construction of new facilities with existing personnel rather than hire outside contractors. Even by eliminating all of these activities, Garkane will still have to increase rates this year to cover new borrowing and increased costs for new infrastructure, as well as other cost increases in our business. The amount of electricity Garkane members are using has grown tremendously. New homes have central air-conditioning, electric furnaces, multiple T.V.’s, computers, and other electrical products. Coupled with unprecedented growth in recent years in new members, our demand for electricity has increased dramatically and Garkane must invest millions in new facilities to ensure sufficient electricity to satisfy this growth. While the price will increase this year, we are still committed to deliver this electricity as efficiently and safely as possible. Our rates will still be very competitive when compared to other electric utilities and other energy sources. In fact, the price you are paying now, is less than in the early 1990’s. We believe that reliable electric service at a reasonable price is something that our member-owners can count on and that we have delivered on a daily basis. To accomplish this goal, we must also protect the financial stability of our organization by asking our member-owners to share in these costs. Garkane strives to give member-owners as much notice as possible through a variety of methods. Maintaining dependable service at an affordable price remains the cornerstone of the cooperative’s business. 1. Garkane is committed to delivering power at the lowest possible cost. 2. Garkane works hard to minimize the impact of necessary price increases. 3. Garkane is accountable to our member-owners, not outside investors. 4. Garkane is a not-for-profit business and our member-owners have a voice in decision making. The purpose of the public hearing, scheduled for June 22, 2009, in the Garkane Hatch Office at 1;00 p.m (Located at 468 North Highway 89, Hatch Utah), is to receive comments and to review with the membership, Garkane Energy Cooperative’s proposed general rate increase to all Utah member-owners. The proposed increase will raise Garkane’s Utah Residential kWh rate to $0.070 for the first 1,000 kWh used and $0.055 for any kWh used after 1,000 kWh, which will increase the typical residential bill (using 750 kwh) by approximately, $4.00 per month. Written comments can be directed to Garkane Energy, Attention: Marcus Lewis, at P.O. Box 465, Loa, UT 84747. Questions and comments can also be made on the Cooperative’s website at: http://www.GarkaneEnergy.com/contact.cfm. Select the option, “Rate Hearing Comments”. All written and e-mailed comments and questions submitted prior to June 18, 2009 will be distributed to the Board of Directors for review. |
