Member-owned cooperative
Bayfield Electric Cooperative, Inc.
Bayfield Electric rates rose 11% since 2020, to 33.7¢ per kilowatt-hour.
Computed as revenue ÷ total sales from Bayfield Electric’s own EIA-861 filings, 2020–2024. Not adjusted for inflation. This provider files EIA’s short form, which reports all customer classes together — the figure is an all-customer average and sits below what a household actually pays. See where that ranks.
Your rates are set by the cooperative's board
Michigan's electric cooperatives are member-regulated under 2008 PA 167. The MPSC does not set their retail rates, so there is no rate case to comment on. As a member you elect the board that does set them — a more direct lever, just a different one.
What you can do
There is no public rate docket to comment on. Rate decisions happen at your provider's governing body, whose meetings are where a rate concern belongs, and whose members you elect.
We have not yet confirmed which board sets this utility’s rates from a primary source, so we are not naming one. Michigan municipals are governed either by a city council or by a board of public works the charter delegates to, and guessing between them would send you to the wrong meeting.
Get told when something changes
Unverified. The MPSC roster omits the member-regulated annotation it shows for other cooperatives, so the rate authority above is an assumption pending confirmation, not a sourced fact.
