For members who are curious about the PCRF adjustment on your bill: PCRF stands for Power Cost Recovery Factor. It is a mechanism that allows a cooperative to add to, or subtract from the per kilowatt hour charge on your bill, depending on the cost of electricity on the electric market in Texas. If you have been a member of FCEC very long, you will have seen this on your bill (Fuel Cost Adjustment) as an additional charge, or a credit many times in the last few years.
