UDWI REMC Announces a Rise in Rates for 2026

Utilities District of Western Indiana REMC announces a 2% increase in residential rates in 2026 followed by a 1% increase in 2027 and 2028— a total 4% increase over the next three years. The rate adjustment is the first increase to UDWI’s base rates since 2014 and has become necessary due to inflation, rising operational costs and the overall cost of power predicted in the coming years.

Not-for-profit cooperatives like UDWI operate differently than large investor-owned utilities. One key difference is that we don’t generate our own electricity. Instead, we purchase power at wholesale rates from a supplier — UDWI receives its electricity from Hoosier Energy. Learn more about our co-op at udwiremc.com ... See MoreSee Less

Did you know that over half of our costs go towards purchasing our power? This means that any increase in the cost to generate and transmit that power can greatly affect our costs as well— and it is one of the main reasons for our upcoming 2% rate increase in 2026, along with the 1% rate increase in 2027 and 2028 (4% increase over 3 years).

Rate increases will go into effect on April 1, and you will see it reflected on your May bill statement (around a $3 rise for every 1000 kWh of electricity used).

If you have questions, please contact us to learn more about your individual bill. You can also learn more about what resources are available to you, including payment options and prepaid metering.
