Energy Savings

Long-term Savings

Saving energy doesn’t just shrink your next utility bill. It can lower rates for your entire community and help control rising energy costs over the long haul. That’s why public power utilities offer a variety of programs to help residents and businesses be more energy efficient—whether it means changing a few light bulbs or planning a renovation. Contact your locally owned utility to find out more.

Spring Tips


Spring Savings Tips

When you’re doing your spring cleaning, try these small steps to help conserve energy:

  • Dust and pet hair can build up on your refrigerator condenser coils, causing the motor to work harder and use more electricity. Make sure the coils are cleaned so that air can circulate freely.
  • Check that ceiling fans are working properly and are dust-free. Switch the fan direction to counter clockwise, to help draw air upward and cool the room.
  • Dust or wipe light bulbs. Clean bulbs provide more light.

Many public power utilities offer cash-back rebates for energy-efficient upgrades. Others can help you purchase renewable energy, pinpoint the energy wasters in your home, or connect you to statewide energy-efficiency initiatives, like Wisconsin’s Focus on Energy program or Michigan’s Efficiency United.
