What is Energy Management?
Energy Management members allow Meeker Cooperative to control their energy use during peak demand times in exchange for lower rates. Load Management occurs whenever our power suppliers and Meeker Cooperative find it necessary to add capacity. Control periods are often related to extreme weather and/or market prices and transmission capacity. Controls can happen anytime from early morning to around 10:00 p.m.
A separate load control meter is mounted on your house. Energy Management participants are eligible for cash rebates when installing or converting existing equipment.
