We make it our business to know when new technologies that use electricity enter our market. While electric vehicles (EVs) aren’t new, we have seen an increase in the number of members purchasing these cars. As your trusted energy advisor, we’ve done our part to be prepared to answer your questions about EVs and provide you with the facts.
From adding two EVs to our fleet, surveying and listening to our members who plan to use this type of new technology, studying charging patterns and gaining an understanding of what impacts EVs might have on our distribution system, we have learned alongside all of you.
To continue our learning process, we’re using the Optiwatt application to gain more insight on the charging habits of members while incentivizing you to share your information. Here are the incentive details:
- To gain the most savings, members can complete the enrollment form and download the Optiwatt app, agreeing to allow managed charging during predicted times of peak energy use at least 60 percent of the time. This will provide a one-time $250 power bill credit for every charger you register at your location, a one-time $15 power bill credit for every electric vehicle you register and up to $120 in annual credits per registered charger.
- Even if you don’t want to participate in managed charging, you can still receive an incentive. Simply register your vehicle and charger through our enrollment form and we’ll provide you with a one-time $100 power bill credit.
- Members who already participate in our time of use rate with a separate submeter at their location are also eligible for a one-time $50 power bill credit if you confirm you have registered your charger through the Optiwatt application.
Our board also recently passed a special rate that provides an incentive to businesses who choose to add a charging station at their location to either power the use of their fleet, vehicles from patrons or their employees. You can learn more about this rate on our website.
Not interested in electric vehicles? We understand and are still here to provide you with the guidance you need to help make the best energy choices for you and your family. We’re still dedicated to providing you with reliable, safe and affordable energy and looking out for you, no matter what you drive.
