Success Stories

Since the early 1970s, electric company programs and services have helped residential, commercial, and industrial customers to use their electricity more wisely.  These efficiency efforts are making a difference. 

Electric company efficiency programs help homes and businesses to take control over their electric bill.  But, that is just the beginning.  Electric company efficiency efforts also:

• Reduce air emissions and 'greenhouse' gases.
• Result in the more efficient use of generation and transmission assets.
• Reduce demand during peak periods, ultimately deferring the cost of building additional generation, and thus reducing consumer bills over the long term.

Listed below are just a few examples of how electric companies around the country are encouraging their customers to use energy more efficiently.  A more comprehensive look at the electric utility industry's energy efficiency programs can be found at: www.eei.org/industry-efficiency/programs.
