As a reminder, rates were adjusted for all rate classes beginning with June 1 electric usage. Some billing cycles include billing dates that span from May to June, so billing statements issued in June will reflect energy usage billed at two different rates - delineated as different lines. 

To clearly differentiate energy usage and the per kWh rate billed, a separate line item will appear on bills for energy used before June 1, and another line item for energy used on June 1 and beyond. Bills for members on Time of Day rates will include added lines for the two on-peak and off-peak rates over the billing cycle. 

These additional line items will only appear on statements billed during the rate transition and member bills will resume to the standard format moving forward. If you have additional questions about the current rates, please visit www.unitedpower.com/rates or call United Power’s member services team at 303-637-1300.

Líneas adicionales en las facturas durante la transición de tarifas

Como recordatorio, se ajustaron las tarifas de todas las clases tarifarias a partir del consumo eléctrico del 1.o de junio. Algunos ciclos de facturación incluyen fechas de facturación que abarcan de mayo a junio, por lo que las facturas emitidas en junio reflejarán el consumo de energía facturado a dos tarifas diferentes, detalladas en líneas distintas. 
Para diferenciar claramente el consumo de energía y la tarifa por kWh facturada, verá la energía utilizada antes del 1.o de junio y la energía utilizada a partir del 1.o de junio en dos líneas separadas. Las facturas para los clientes con tarifas Time of Day incluirán líneas adicionales para las dos tarifas de horas pico y no pico durante el ciclo de facturación. 
Estas líneas adicionales solo aparecerán en las facturas emitidas durante la transición de tarifas. Después de esta transición, las facturas volverán al formato estándar. Si tiene preguntas adicionales sobre las tarifas actuales, visite www.unitedpower.com/rates o llame al equipo de Servicios a los Miembros de United Power al 303-637-1300.

United Power is not Affiliated with any Solar Vendors; Please Contact Us if you have Concerns

United Power is proud to be ranked among the top electric utilities across the country in member-owned rooftop solar installations. In fact, we have surpassed 12,000 net metering agreements. While we empower our members to pursue solar if it suits their energy needs and lifestyle, we do not contract or partner with any company that sells solar panels. 

Some members have recently reported door-to-door salespeople who are claiming to represent the cooperative and are using intentionally misleading promises to persuade members into making costly decisions about installing solar panels. One company, Sign and Shine, has gone a step further and is using the United Power logo in their online advertising efforts. We understand that this may cause confusion, so we are setting the record straight. United Power is not affiliated with this company. If approached by Sign and Shine or any other company claiming to work with or on behalf of United Power, we encourage members to conduct due diligence with the Colorado Secretary of State and the Better Business Bureau. Likewise, members may contact United Power’s Energy Solutions team at 303-637-1300 for information regarding United Power's solar programs or the process to install solar panels on their homes.
