MEC passes additional savings to members

This year, Mohave Electric successfully secured power purchases at a lower cost than anticipated. These savings will be shared with members, and on August 19, 2021, the MEC Board of Directors unanimously voted to increase the Purchased Power Adjustor (PPA) credit to…
