Energy Efficiency Tips

Controlled Water Heater Program – Aquanta

If your existing water heater is in need of replacement consider replacing it with a new energy-efficient electric water heater from SWCE.  We offer a FREE HTP water heater along with a monthly credit to any SWCE member who enrolls in our Aquanta load management program. For more information see controlled Water Heater Program.

Controlled Wifi Thermostat Program – Own Your Power

Own Your Power is a control program for home wifi smart thermostats. Certain Ecobee/Honeywell/Nest wifi thermostats qualify. See if your thermostat qualifies and sign up here. Receive a $50 sign up bill credit and $25/season bill credit.

Controlled Dual Fuel Program

If your residence is mainly heated using electric heat, air source or ground source heat pumps, SWCE can help reduce the cost of operation when you join SWCE load management program. Controllable electric heating sources can qualify for a reduced electrical rate provided a backup heat source is available. See the Controlled Dual Fuel Program Brochure for more information.

Curtailment and Interruptible Program

For agriculture, commercial and industrial accounts with monthly demand greater than 50 kW, SWCE has load management program rates that can significantly lower your overall electric rate. SWCE’s Interruptible and Curtailment program requires accounts to shed at least 50 kW of their load during peak usage time throughout the year when called upon. Those accounts would either curtail their usage or use generator back-up as the main power source during the control period. See the Curtailment and Interruptible Program Rules for more information contact the SWCE Operations Division.
