UDWI REMC Announces a Rise in Rates for 2026

Utilities District of Western Indiana REMC announces a 2% increase in residential rates in 2026 followed by a 1% increase in 2027 and 2028— a total 4% increase over the next three years. The rate adjustment is the first increase to UDWI’s base rates since 2014 and has become necessary due to inflation, rising operational costs and the overall cost of power predicted in the coming years.

Due to rising costs of power, including inflation and a rise in our cost to purchase power from our supplier, we will be raising rates 2% on April 1. In 2027 and 2028, there will be an additional 1% rate increase (total of 4% over 3 years). We want to reassure members that we are working to minimize any raise in rates, only increasing them when necessary to ensure we continue providing reliable power.

We understand that this increase can be concerning. To help manage your usage, we encourage you to utilize our resources like Prepaid Metering, the UDWI app (has charts to monitor usage), and budget billing. Contact us if you have more questions.
