Claremore Electric Rate Increase Sparks Concern Among Residents
4022 Percent Increase Prompts Concerns
Residents Question Impact on Finances
In a move that has sent shockwaves through the city, GRDA has announced a substantial increase in electric rates for Claremore, starting in January. The 4022 percent increase has left residents reeling and questioning how they will afford the skyrocketing costs.
Claremore Utilities, the local public power source, has been experiencing intermittent outages in recent days, adding to the frustration of residents. The combination of power outages and the impending rate increase has created a sense of unease among the community.
According to a recent survey, residential electric rates in Claremore are currently the highest in January, with the average bill reaching its peak. The GRDA rate increase is expected to further inflate these costs, leaving residents struggling to keep up with their utility payments.
Community leaders are calling for transparency from GRDA and Claremore Utilities. Residents want to understand the reasoning behind the rate increase and how it will impact their finances. They are also demanding assurances that the power outages will be resolved and that the electric system will be maintained to ensure reliable service in the future.
