Load Management Program
Our load management program includes installation, at our expense, of a radio-controlled device onto the circuit at/near the electric water heater. This allows us to control (shut off) the heater during times of peak usage as defined by our wholesale power provider. Control can occur any time of the day and month of the year; it will not exceed five hours in any day.
Member must agree to terms of service of the load management program, as follows: Member agrees to have the newly installed water heater load control device at the location for a minimum of one year. If heater is replaced, member agrees to contact Menard Electric Cooperative so a load management device can be installed on the replacement water heater. After the one year period has expired, and if the member wishes to no longer participate in the program, member agrees to contact Menard Electric Cooperative and have the load management device removed. Member further understands that at such time the service will no longer be eligible for the water heater rate reduction.
