FEES: There are no service fees for Cow Power customers, but customers who choose CVPS Cow Power™ will pay an extra 4 cents per kilowatt hour for their electricity.  For a residential customer using 500 kWh per month, that would add $20 to the monthly electric bill, which would benefit farmers or otherwise support renewable energy markets.

WHAT IF I DON'T WANT TO PAY THAT MUCH? Customers may choose to buy 25 percent, 50 percent, or all of their electricity through the Cow Power rider.  A customer using 500 kWh per month who chooses to receive 25 percent of their power under the rider would pay only an additional $5 a month.  At 50 percent Cow Power, that customer would pay an additional $10.

You may change the percentage of electricity that you buy through Cow Power by calling the CVPS Customer Information Center at 1-800-649-2877.  Unless the request is made at or about the time your regular bill is issued, a change in percentage, up or down, will become effective on the next bill for all usage charged on that statement, retroactive to the beginning of the billing cycle.

Except for large customers on Rates 4, 5 and 10 who may be subject to three-year agreements with the company, customers can contact the CVPS Customer Information Center and withdraw from CVPS Cow Power™ at any time.  There is no fee to do so.  Unless the request is made at or about the time your regular bill is issued, CVPS Cow Power™ service will be terminated effective on the next bill for all usage charged on that statement.
