Geothermal Rate:

Members who have an all electric home and use a Geothermal heating system are eligible for our G.T. Rate. This rate provides our members with a substantial savings for the billing months October through May.  All kwhrs used between 1000 kwhrs and 6000 kwhrs in each of these billing months will be charged at 5.00 cents per kwhr.

Electric Heat Rate:

Members who use electric heat as their primary source of heat in their home are eligible for our electric heat rate. Under this rate all kwhrs used between 1000 kwhrs and 6000 kwhrs in each billing month October thru May will be charged at 6.00 cents per kwhr.

Geothermal Rebate:*

Heating and cooling your home with a Geothermal system is the most efficient and cost effective way to enjoy year round comfort. In addition to its low operating cost to heat and air condition your home, the system can provide up to 60% of your domestic hot water requirements.  For members who install the system, the Cooperative will provide a one time rebate of $600.

 

Members who install an Add-On Electric Heat Pump or an Electric Heat Pump will receive a $200 rebate.  This rebate will apply to any size heat pump installed as part of the central heating and cooling system.

 

 

Electric Water Heater Rebate:*

Members who install an electric water heater with a 40 gallon storage capacity or larger and enroll in the Cooperative's load management program are eligible to receive a one time rebate. If the new electric water heater is installed in a new structure or if it replaces a fossil fired unit the rebate amount will be $100. If the new electric model replaces an existing electric unit the rebate will be $75.

Water Heater Load Management Program:

Members who allow the Cooperative to control the heating elements of their water heater for periods of no longer than 5 hours in any given day will receive a 3.00 cent per kwhr rate reduction for all kwhrs used between 600 kwhrs and 1000 kwhrs for each month of the year. This could mean a savings of up to $144 a year.

Certified Comfort Home*

Members who are building a home and follow the building techniques described in the certified Comfort Home Booklet could receive a $100 rebate from the Cooperative. To find out more about how your home can be built energy efficiently please contact us at your convenience.
