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.

Here are some items to note as you look toward your May billing statement:

The base service charge, formerly called the facilities charge, is a fixed monthly cost that covers the delivery of power to your home. It includes things like power lines, substations, and poles, as well as keeping that equipment working safely and reliably. This cost does not change based on how much electricity you use.

Additionally, your next billing statement will be the first one to reflect UDWI's 2% rate increase for 2026. To see more information on the rate increase, read www.udwiremc.com/udwi-news/udwi-remc-announces-a-rise-in-rates-for-2026/
