Save money and energy

If you're looking to conserve energy—to save money or to help the environment—we can help! Cut costs by signing up for energy-saving rebates and programs and explore our money saving rates available through our off-peak energy programs.

Our Pricing

We're taking proactive steps to keep the price our customers pay for electricity as economical as possible. New technologies and infrastructure investments, which cost less than other options to produce and move low-cost electricity, will help to keep the price our customers pay among the lowest in the region. And our conservation programs can help customers use electricity wisely and save even more.

Anticipated cost changes

While we’ve selected low-cost options to meet customer needs, they still come with a price. We anticipate that all customers averaged together will see a bill increase of less than 2% a year from 2018 through 2027. The increases will vary by state, year, and size.

Learn about how price changes are approved.

Competitive rates

We're dedicated to keeping our prices below state and national averages.
