What's it all about?
The electric coperatives in Missouri, southeast Iowa,
and northeast Oklahoma are sponsoring this energy
initiative.
You have the power to affect your energy consumption
(in kilowatt-hours and in money) by managing use
wisely - reducing the amount spent on the inefficient
use of energy.
This energy efficiency initiative is built on two core ideas:
- Take control of electricity use, and thereby
- Save energy
Why are we doing this?
As cooperative members, we all carry the responsibility
to make the best use of our energy resources. While the
costs of providing reliable electricity have been rising,
your cooperative system has been working with our
power supplier, Associated Electric Cooperative, Inc., to
find the best ways to ease the burden of those costs -
for our individual members and for our entire network of
cooperatives.
One of the most important things we can do is slow the
growth in energy use. By using electricity wisely, we can
optimize our generating capacity in order to postpone
building costly new power plants. The good news is that
everything you do to reduce your use not only helps us
manage growth, it also helps you manage your energy
budget.
How can you help?
