Tariffs
As a not-for-profit electric cooperative, BARC’s rates are based on its costs of providing electric service to its members. BARC only recovers its costs of service, plus a small operating margin which is retained as equity and ultimately returned to members as patronage capital refunds (capital credits).
BARC offers several rate classes based on the service characteristics of the load. The rates for each class of service are established by BARC and approved by the Virginia State Corporation Commission.
Each rate is made up of several components. A summary of BARC’s rates for residential and commercial customers is summarized in the table below. PDF copies of each of BARC’s rate tariffs follow.
The rates below are updated monthly.
