After reviewing the cost to provide electrical service to members and the existing retail rates, the Pioneer Electric Cooperative, Inc. Board of Trustees has authorized management to present the following rate adjustments to members. The adjustments will cover operating costs, ensure reliable service and make debt service payments of the cooperative. For the impacted rate schedules, these adjustments represent an overall average increase of approximately 3%, with adjustments to the Energy Delivery Charge/Demand Charge. The increase was approved at the Feb. 27 Board of Trustees meeting and went into effect March 1, 2024. Members will see the adjustment on their April 2024 billings.

Pioneer Electric Board of Trustees appointed Mark Goehring, of Ulysses, to serve as representative of District 7. Goehring was selected after an application and interview process conducted by Pioneer Electric’s board of trustees.

“We welcome Mark and look forward to working with him in service to our members,” said Board President, Mike Brewer. “Mark’s insight and skill will be a great addition to the board.”

Goehring plans to use his background in finance and involvement on other boards and committees in service to the cooperative.

“I’m thankful for the opportunity to serve the members of Pioneer Electric and will work alongside the board of trustees,” said Goehring.
