Cooling Program - Minnesota Valley Electric

Receive a 10% discount for all energy usage on the main meter from June-September.
MVEC installs an energy management switch (free of charge) on your home near your central air conditioner.
During peak electricity usage, the switch cycles (controls) your central air conditioner on and off. The furnace fan continues to circulate cool air in your home.
By having your air conditioner cycled this helps to control energy demand and saves the cooperative on wholesale power costs.
Your monthly savings will appear on your electric bill each month under “Energy Wise Savings this Month.”

Participation in this program automatically carries forward every year.
To participate you must have a residential service with MVEC. Window or through-the-wall air conditioners (plug in units) are not eligible unless they are hard wired into the home’s electric service panel.
Members that are renters must have the home owner’s written permission to join.
Members with small businesses or more than one central air conditioner will receive a $10/month bill credit on statements dated during the months of June – September of every year. You must use a minimum of 200 kWh each month to qualify for the bill credit.
Members must participate for a minimum of one year.
