[QUOTE="Ouachita, post: 1370668, member: 16802"] We are on a rural electric coop here. The minimum monthly fee for just having a meter, if it's connected and you use any amount, is different for everybody. As I understand it, the monthly "meter" charge is based on how many meters per mile there are (or in our case, how many miles per meter). So, the coop is basically charging a meter fee based on average cost of maintenance per mile of their infrastructure; right-of-ways and the transmission. We are at the end of the line, so we pay more than those at the close end of the transmission apparatus. I have no problem with this. Anything other than this would be equality, which is a redistribution of wealth. I don't like paying a higher meter fee, but I chose to live in the boondocks and happy to pay for this "privileged surcharge". [/QUOTE]
