Energy Efficiency Programs
Iowa's electric cooperatives have initiated and implemented programs that encourage the efficient use of the members' resources, the cooperative's resources and our nation's natural resources. These programs put the interest of the memberconsumer first. The cooperatives' programs have resulted in savings in demand for energy through new energy efficient appliances and equipment, improved efficiencies of existing and new structures, and the changing attitude of the members.
Future programs will continue to be developed to encourage the efficient use of electricity, while ensuring the comfort and savings for the member-consumer.
Iowa's cooperatives are proactively developing and implementing energy efficiency programs to help decrease consumers' energy costs and to promote the wise use of energy. Some examples of these programs include energy audits, educational information, rebates to member-consumers or vendors of energy efficient products, research projects, installation of energy efficiency equipment and tree planting programs.
By design, Iowa's electric cooperatives go the extra mile to keep the cost of power affordable for their member-consumers.
