Yes, our financial plan anticipates storms and other unexpected events. Prior to the ice storm, the most expensive storm in our history was $1.3 million. If the cooperative experienced another $1.3 million dollar storm, our financial planning and forecasting would allow the cooperative to incur this level of cost without any need for emergency funds or an immediate rate change. The difference between the 2025 ice storm and our financial planning is the extent of damage and extreme cost, which was 115 times more than the largest event in our cooperative’s history.
