New EV incentives now available

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.
