Energy conservation continues to be one of the most cost-effective ways to meet increased demand by consumers. We believe that electricity, fuel, and water should always be used as efficiently as possible. Sending the right price signals to customers is the first step toward efficient energy use. However, to make conservation work, everyone, from utilities down to the individual customer, needs to play a part.

Our efforts to assist our utility clients focus on electricity use. We recommend implementing "common sense approaches" to reducing the total amount of energy consumed by end users. These approaches range from adopting simple programs such as Compact Fluorescent Lighting and Automatic Set-Back Thermostats to pursuing more expensive programs such as energy audits and insulation programs.

We can assist clients in developing conservation programs that will have a high impact, be easily managed, and build stronger customer relations. We can help our clients adapt proven conservation programs to fit their specific needs and their utility's unique circumstances. To learn more, e-mail James Larson or call (612) 252-6524.
