Energy Management Programs

Energy management is a partnership between a utility and a consumer to reduce the amount of electricity used during times of high demand.  Energy management programs enable electric utilities to manage a consumer's use of electricity (load) during times of peak demand on the electrical system.  Our programs are designed to reduce peak demand, save members money, and conserve a valuable resource; electricity!
