Residential & General Power Rates

REU offers two primary service classifications. The Residential Rate applies to electric service for a single-family dwelling and its appurtenances, where electricity is used mainly for domestic purposes—lighting, household appliances, and the personal comfort and convenience of residents. The General Power Rate applies to the firm power requirements of commercial, industrial, governmental, and institutional customers—including churches, clubs, and similar organizations—except where service is available under another resale rate schedule.

Outdoor Lighting

Rockwood Electric Utility can install a private security light on your residential or commercial property under most conditions.  All new requests for outdoor lighting require the applicant to sign a minimum two-year contract for security lighting service.  If you have security concerns and would like to discuss outdoor lighting options, please contact our Engineering Department to look at the situation with you.

There are some restrictions which may limit the availability of outdoor lighting. The following types and sizes of lights are currently offered and can be installed on existing poles in most circumstances.

The cost of the outdoor light includes all power used and routine maintenance. Other fees may apply depending on the installation. Also contact us for the availability of “leased lighting” for athletic fields and other specialty lighting systems. If you have security concerns and would like to discuss outdoor lighting options, please contact our Customer Service Department.
