Rates
GVEA offers five different rates to its members, depending on the classification of the service provided. The rates are divided into two categories: Residential and General Service (GS).
Eighty-five percent of the electric services on GVEA’s system are 
single-family dwellings, classified under the Residential rate. The four General Service rates apply to small and large power users that do not qualify for the Residential rate.
To calculate how much your total bill should be based on your service classification and usage, visit the Bill Calculator.
