Energy Efficiency Pays Out 3ig in 2015 <br /> Elk River Municipal Utilities residential <br /> and commercial customers were able to <br /> capitalize on over $178,000 in electric <br /> utility rebates in 2015. Residential customers <br /> participated by buying Energy Star® <br /> qualified appliances, heat pumps, central air <br /> conditioners, and energy efficient Lighting <br /> products. The commercial customers took <br /> advantage of rebates for lights, motors, <br /> chillers, variable frequency drives, and <br /> many other energy efficient products. In <br /> addition to the rebate dollars customers <br /> received, they will also enjoy lower energy <br /> consumption that results in dollars saved <br /> every month for years to come. The <br /> residential and commercial customers <br /> that participated in the rebate programs <br /> collectively saved over 2,900,000 kWh <br /> as well as an estimated $300,000 off <br /> their electric bills. This is a CO2 reduction <br /> equivalent of one decade of CO2 <br /> consumption from planting 50,000 tree <br /> seedlings. Our community makes a real <br /> difference to our environment through <br /> energy conservation. <br /> Page 7 <br />
