Efficiency through Education

While scientists believe that they've seen evidence of planets similar to ours in the universe, no one has yet discovered another Planet Earth. This means humans have only one opportunity to treat the world the right way. Our efficiency efforts focus on educating consumers in making better choices about their use of electricity, and giving them the tools they need to make good choices. Because decreased energy use often translates into lower energy bills, becoming more efficient is good for everyone.

ENERGY ADVISOR PROGRAM

Through the Energy Advisor program, designated staff at nearly all of Wabash Valley Power's member cooperatives receive special training to deepen their knowledge of electricity and energy matters. Energy Advisors will respond to member questions and concerns by helping them identify ways to use energy more efficiently while making their homes more comfortable. With the primary message, "Advice when you want it. Help when you need it," the program restores the co-op to the education role widely used decades ago.

PARTICIPATION IN EVENTS

Employees from Wabash Valley Power and its member systems often work together during events such as fairs and annual meetings, to educate consumers about wise energy use. By using hands-on displays and reader-friendly brochures, complex matters become more understandable to people who don't work with electricity every day!
