Poudre Valley. Rural Electric Association (PVREA) currently provides electric service to this area. The City of Fort Collins Utilities will assume responsibility for providing the electric service following annexation. In most cases, the transfer of electric service territory will take place within one year of annexation. To compensate PVREA for the loss of territory, Colorado State law requires a payment of service rights fees to PVREA. The fee is equal to 25% of the City's revenue for electric service for all customers within the annexation at the time the territory is transferred to Fort Collins Utilities. A 5% service rights fee is applicable to new customers added within the annexation boundaries after the transfer of the service territory. All service rights fees terminate ten years after the electric customers and facilities are transferred to the City. It is important you know that service rights fees will apply to these annexations because the fees are collected from annexed customers through the City's electric rates. However, the City's electric rates are among the lowest in the State and will help mitigate the impact of the service rights fee. If you would like additional information on the cost of electric service following annexation, please call me at 221-6714.
