However, customers of the Utilities Board of Tuskegee (UBT) are\r\nenjoying significantly lower rates compared to those served by Alabama Power, despite the\r\nadded challenges and costs of providing quality services in a rural area.\r\n\r\nIn response to recent reports highlighting the high costs faced by Alabama Power customers,\r\nUBT is proud to reaffirm its commitment to affordability and quality service. According to the\r\nmost recent study conducted by the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Alabama homes\r\nuse around just under 14,000 kWh of electricity each year. That\u2019s around 1,100 kWh each month\r\non average. With a monthly base charge of $14.50, the average Alabama Power user in Mobile,\r\nBirmingham, Montgomery, and Tuscaloosa pays around $180 each month for their bill. UBT\r\ncustomers are charged only $149.72 for the same usage. This considerable savings is a testament\r\nto UBT's dedication to serving its community efficiently and effectively.\r\n\r\nUBT\u2019s current rate structure includes a customer charge of $15, a rate of $0.102470 per kWh,\r\nand a fuel (power cost adjustment) charge of $0.02 per kWh. These rates are among the lowest in\r\nthe state, making UBT a more affordable option for residents.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/article>","resource_file_or_document":"https:\/\/ubt-web-assets.s3.amazonaws.com\/documents\/UBT+Affordable+Rates+PR.pdf"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ubt.veristein.app\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/resources\/691"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ubt.veristein.app\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/resources"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ubt.veristein.app\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/resources"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ubt.veristein.app\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/692"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ubt.veristein.app\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=691"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
