Administrator:
Electric rates
to keep rising
Lincoln electricity rates
are expected to increase 8
percent each of the next
four years, the Lincoln
Electric System administra
tion has told the Lincoln
Chamber of Commerce.
The rate increase is
because of the higher cost
of obtaining power, but still
is below the inflation rate,
said the administrator,
Walter Canney.
Canney said the rate rose
7.6 percent last year and an
average of 6.2 percent
during the past four years.
He said there is "no end in
sight" to the increases in
. electricity costs.
Inflation and higher
energy costs are driving the
rate up, he said, adding that
76 percent of the LES
budget goes for obtaining
and producing energy,
LES will have public
meetings to review its
current rate structure in
May and August, Canney
said: ' c" -..
In the future, energy '
conservation and alternative
forms Of energy may reduce
energy costs, but so far have
had little effect, Canney
said.
"There are set costs,
including manpower and
administrative costs, that
don't change as fast-as the
amount of energy used
does,' he said.
Canney said energy usage
in Lincoln the last two years
increased 4 percent, but
four years ago it increased
8 percent.
LES is researching alter
native forms of energy,
Canney said, but it will be
years before any of them
will contribute significantly.
