Slight Boost In Electric Rates For Lake Placid

The cost of village electricity could increase slightly for the first time since 2007 if a new proposal before the village board is approved. Adirondack Daily Enterprise reports Village Treasurer Mindy Goddeau doesn’t expect month-to-month charges for residents to significantly increase with the change — the price per kilowatt hour for residential and commercial customers would increase by only a fraction of a cent, and residential flat rates per kilowatt hours would stay the same at $8.
