UNDERSTANDING ELECTRICITY’S VALUE
by Stephanie Schroeder, Communications Coordinator
It’s difficult to assign a numeric value to
your own electricity use because electricity
is something we forget about. After all, you
can’t see it, hear it, touch it, taste it or smell
it. In fact, unlike most tangible products and
services that you pay for, you often only think
about electricity when you don’t have it due to
an outage or some other disruption — which
is fortunately pretty rare.
But think about that for a minute. Those rare
moments when you are lacking electricity
are the moments when you are reminded
of how valuable it is — that period of time
during a bad storm outage where we might
think to ourselves, “This is inconvenient. I’d
pay X dollars to not have to deal with this
right now.” We assign the numerical value
when we’re inconvenienced by the lack of
electricity because it’s such a common part of
our everyday lives that we notice the absence
of it much more than its presence.
So, what is the value of something that is so
2 Highline Notes August 2014
ingrained into our daily lives that we often
forget it exists? Well, it might be difficult to
assign a numeric value to something as broad
as electricity. But, what about the value of
being able to use your cell phone? The value
of being cool in your home on a 90-degree
summer day? Or the value of being able to
cook a meal for your family?
heating tool, take a hot shower, wash dishes
and clothes, listen to music and so much
more.
To assign value to these things, you must ask
yourself how much you would be willing to
pay for the convenience. Is my ability to heat/
cool my home, cook my food, turn my lights
on, watch television, charge my electronics,
wash my clothes, etc. worth $1/day? $10/
day? $20/day? Despite whichever numerical
value these things might be worth to you,
there is an amount that people are charged
to be able to use all the electricity they want
from the grid. That cost for CCEC members is
approximately $0.11 per kWh of energy used.
But it’s rare while we are turning up the
thermostat or preheating the oven that we
think of our actions in terms of kilowatt hours
used. It’s typically when we get our bill at
the end of the month, after we’ve forgotten
about the extremely hot days where the air
conditioner was blasting or the days we
entertained family and the stove worked
overtime, where we start to think the cost of
electricity is high.
For around $30, which is six times the average
daily electricity cost, you could purchase a
meal for two in a moderately priced restaurant.
But what if we break it down by the day?
Did you know the average residential member
spends just $4-5 per day for electricity?
That’s $5 a day to make phone calls, browse
the internet, watch television, cook a meal,
keep groceries cold, control the home’s
temperature, turn on a light, style hair with a
www.kwh.com
For around $15, which is three times the
average daily electricity cost, you could watch
a 2-hour movie and order a small popcorn at
the theaters.
For around $60, which is 12 times the average
daily electricity cost, you could fill your vehicle
up with gas.
When you consider all the things you use
electricity for and the fact that it is available to
you nearly 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, it
really is a great value.
Yes, the price of electricity has increased.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics,
electricity increased an average of 3.2 percent
annually from 2000 to 2012; however, this
is a minimal uptick in comparison with the
11.1 percent annual increase in the price of
gasoline each year, the 7.8 percent increase
in the cost of a dozen eggs or the 4.6 percent
increase in the price of ground beef. And, of
electricity, gasoline, eggs and ground beef,
there is only one product that is used 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week — electricity.
It’s a great value. That’s why when you go to
a hotel, you can keep as many lights on as
you want for free. That’s why when you go to
a coffee shop, you can use as many outlets
as you want for free. That’s why stores often
l
crank their air conditioning in the summer to lure in
customers out of the heat. The price of electricity
is minimal in comparison to the value it brings to
these businesses — and, hopefully, to you.
As mentioned earlier, the difficult part about
assigning value to electricity is that we often
only remember its value when we are without it.
Fortunately, for CCEC members, the power is on
more than 99.98 percent of the time. So, for $4-5 a
day, you can go about your daily business without
having to think about electricity at all, knowing it
will be there when you need it. To us, that’s the true
value of electricity.

Students Take on Washington
When students Nathaniel Thoreson and Gillian
Dahl of Fargo submitted essays to Cass
County Electric Cooperative’s annual Youth
Tour contest, they were taking the first step
toward what would become a memorable life
experience.
Their compelling essays on how rural
electrification has contributed to the quality of
life in North Dakota earned them a free trip
to Washington, D.C., where they represented
CCEC at the 50th annual Electric Cooperative
Youth Tour. They were very excited to hear
they had been selected.
“Going to Washington, D.C. is a dream of
millions of Americans far older than I,”
Thoreson said. “Knowing that I would visit the
capital at such a young age was a great gift.”
There were 15 students from North Dakota
selected by cooperatives throughout the state
to participate in the tour. These students joined
delegates of Montana cooperatives in leaving
for the nation’s capital on June 14. From there,
the student delegates spent the week touring
Washington, D.C.’s museums, memorials
and monuments, gaining a new appreciation
for our nation’s history as they traveled.
“I learned to appreciate the vast history of
our country,” Dahl said. “It was very impactful
going to Arlington National Cemetery and
seeing the graves of all the many men and
women who have sacrificed their lives for our
great country.”
And because a historical tour of Washington,
D.C. would never be complete without a
stop at Capitol Hill, the students also had the
opportunity to meet with Congressman Kevin
Cramer and Senators John Hoeven and Heidi
Heitkamp on the trip.
“I developed a deeper appreciation for our
representatives and senators in Washington,
D.C.,” Dahl said. “This trip also made me want
to get involved and learn more about current
issues so that when I can legally vote, I know
that I am voting for what truly represents my
opinions and my values.”
In addition to gaining some insight into history
and politics, the students learned more about
rural electrification, gaining an entirely new
perspective on electric cooperatives.
“Living in a nation in which I can switch on
the lights without thinking, I had never truly
appreciated what the cooperatives do,”
Thoreson said. “While on the Youth Tour, I
learned the scale of what the cooperatives do
and countless hours that they spend ensuring
that we can switch on the lights without
thinking every single day.”
Both students walked away from the tour with
a more in-depth education about the history
of our nation and electrification of the U.S.
And in the process, they also formed lifelong
friendships.
“Although every memorial and piece of
artwork that I had the pleasure of seeing was
astounding, nothing could compare to the
lasting friendships that I made on the Youth
Tour,” Thoreson said.
Gillian agreed, recommending the tour to any
students who are eligible to apply in future
years. “This was an amazing trip that I learned
so much from,” she said. “I also met so many
great people along the way.”

In addition to being selected as a North Dakota delegate for the Youth Tour, Nate Thoreson was chosen to serve on the Youth Leadership
Council — the first ever student representative from CCEC chosen for this honor. Students chosen to participate in the YLC were invited
back to D.C. for an electric cooperative leadership workshop and will be a part of NRECA’s Annual Meeting next year. “It is a great honor
to represent North Dakota and even more so to be the first representative from Cass County Electric,” Thoreson said. “Out of the many
people that also applied for the YLC program, I am honored that I can experience Washington, D.C. for the second time as well as learn
many new skills that I can apply throughout my entire life.”

Bill Pay Made Easy
Between monthly bills for your phone, rent/
mortgage, cable, Internet and electricity, it can
be difficult to keep your payment information
straight for all of your monthly services.
Unless you have a great paper filing system
and a lot of extra storage space, it’s probably
hard to keep track of everything. You might not
remember if you already paid the electric bill
or you might wonder what caused your bill to
be higher this month than the last.
Fortunately, Cass County Electric Cooperative
offers an app that will answer those questions
for you. SmartHub, a free app available with
android and iPhone devices or through your
web browser, was designed to give members
the answers to many of their electricity use
questions all from the palm of their hands.

paper billing statements and
helps them understand and
manage their energy use. By
seeing which days and times
your home consumes the
most energy, you can take steps to reduce
your energy use during those times of high
consumption to save money on future bills.
One great benefit of using SmartHub is being
able to see a detailed breakdown of your
electricity consumption — whether you want
to see your hourly, daily, weekly, monthly,or
In addition to providing you with detailed
information about your household energy
use, SmartHub also offers an easy and

Call Before You Install
By now, (we hope) it’s almost instinctive to
you that you dial 811 before you dig to avoid
risk of coming into contact with power lines.
This is an important tip to remember to avoid
unnecessary injury or hassle. But now we
have another tip for you to keep in mind: Call
us before you consider installing solar and
wind systems.
CCEC has interconnected with a few dozen
renewable systems. We are supportive of our
members who invest in a new system if that
is something they feel may supplement part
of their energy needs; however, rather than
purchasing the materials from the nearest
home improvement store and executing a doit-yourself installation, we recommend that
our members make these decisions carefully
and after consulting with us.
The main reason it’s important to consult with
us about your new system installation is that
new technologies can be very dangerous.
Solar and wind systems are new and intriguing
— but along with novelty comes uncertainty.
You may not know everything there is to know
about a new system you plan to install in
your home, so it is important that you discuss
the safety risks with us before you get in too
deep. For instance, these new systems are
not always designed to connect to the grid, so
if the power is out for CCEC’s members and
your system continues to operate, you could
be placing power back onto the distribution
system. This creates a safety hazard for any
lineworkers who are attempting to restore the
outage. CCEC needs to know the ins and outs
of your system so we can work to prevent
danger to our crews — and to you — in
emergency situations.
we need to know about your system.
Another reason we ask members to call us
before installing a new system is to make
sure they get the credits on their accounts.
If you install your own solar or wind system,
the metering you currently have will not
be set up to take advantage of the reverse
energy you are providing. This means your
own electricity use will be offset, but you
will not get credited from the cooperative for
any reverse production. To get credit for that
energy, CCEC’s metering department has to
change the information that we bring back
from the meter. In order to make this change,
For additional information, you can also

renewable-generation to learn about policies,
get access to a cash flow calculator and
read some quick facts about connecting
renewables to the grid.

Have you already taken on a DIY system
upgrade project? If so, don’t worry — it’s not
too late to consult with us about any questions
you may have. If you have already installed a
wind or solar system or are planning to in the
future, call Troy Knutson, Manager of Technical
Services, at 701-356-4542 with your
questions. He can provide some much needed
guidance about your system installation that
will hopefully reduce future hassles to you in
using your new system.
Just remember: If you’re interested in a new
system, always call CCEC and 811 before you
install.
