ECO-ENERGY

Eco-Energy is a voluntary program that allows you and your family the opportunity to support renewable energy by purchasing a portion of your power supply as wind energy.

Participation in Eco-Energy:

•  Displaces electricity from fossil fuel sources like coal and natural gas with clean, renewable wind energy.

•  Builds demand for renewable energy.

•  Helps reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.

Eco-Energy is offered in blocks of 100 kilowatt hours of electricity per month (kWh/month), which are purchased in addition to your monthly bill. You may purchase from one block to the number of blocks equal to your monthly electric consumption.

The minimum enrollment period is 12 months with an automatic renewal each year.

SMART SWITCH

Smart Switch FAQ

SMART SWITCH is a free energy conservation program offered by SPU. When you participate in SMART SWITCH, you allow SPU to activate a small radio-controlled device that is installed outside your home near your air conditioner's condensing unit. We expect to activate the switch approximately 10-15 days each summer, but only when demand is at its highest.

During hot summer days demand for air conditioning increases, pushing demand for electricity to peak. With SMART SWITCH, you allow us to manage demand on the electrical system.
