SMECO’s credit tiers for the Legislative Energy Relief Refund are based on each member’s average monthly electricity usage between October 1, 2024, and September 30, 2025. Members are grouped into seven tiers according to their typical energy consumption, with higher-usage members receiving larger credits and lower-usage members receiving smaller, but still meaningful, credits. This tiered system ensures the refund is distributed fairly and aligns with each member’s actual energy use.
