WPCA is short for wholesale power cost adjustment. It’s a way to allow for temporary fluctuations in what Walton EMC pays for wholesale electricity without making changes to the entire retail rate schedule. It protects the cooperative and its customer-owners from both under and over collecting on wholesale power costs.

You must put in both account numbers when paying. If not, the entire payment will be credited to one account.

Customer-owners participating in Operation Round Up allow their power bill to be rounded to the next dollar each month. The resulting change goes to help worthy causes in our community.

Your board of directors voted to automatically designate every new account for participation in the Operation Round Up program. Participation is voluntary and you can be removed from the program at any time. Look here for more information.

Each new account requires a $20 account establishment fee and a $5 membership fee. There’s also a standard deposit of $300. To learn more about establishing an account, click here.

Section 202 of Walton EMC’s Service Rules and Regulations sets a MINIMUM charge of $800 for new underground service. The charge may be more depending on the length of the service run and other variables. Our engineering department will determine the actual cost after completing its survey.

It may be possible but most of the time it is highly impractical and extremely expensive. Unlike new construction, there are probably logistic challenges and expenses from obstructions that have been put in place since the original line was built. There is also the expense of retiring the existing line.

The final monthly charge and installation cost will be determined by our engineering department. County code requirements and construction factors have to be considered in the decision.

We will only trim limbs that touch service lines. We don’t remove trees on private property. You can call us for an appointment to have your service line disconnected so your tree service can safely remove the dead tree.
