I think us folks here in Creekside don't have a choice over electric. I think we will always have GCEC...isn't that right Glodowg?

I certainly do not speak for Glodowg, however you are correct on the electric question :)

Correct.  We are stuck with GCEC, unless they repeal the law about co-ops.  I don't see that happening.  It sucks!

and MM you know you can speak for me anytime  :P

Yeah, deregulation pretty much gave the co-ops ultimate power.  It is their choice and their choice only weather or not to join in in deregulation and open up for competition. 

When will my co-op make its choice?  "Each co-op will decide in its own time. Some may wait to see what the real costs are going to be. Your co-op will opt for competition only if it benefits you."

I used to keep a close eye on the elec costs between GCEC and TXU (main options out here in the boonies)..  When I looked GCEC was always cheaper.  I see that is  still the same today..


GCEC per Kwh   $ 0.1025
TXU   per Kwh          $ 0.15
