Peak Shave Water Heating Program
- With the peak shave water heating, electricity to the water heater is controlled up to several hours when electric use and the cost is very high. By avoiding the use of non-essential electricity during peak times, the Cooperative and its members save money.
- After a period of five years, members will receive monthly credits of $8 per month on your electric bill. These credits continue as long as you continue on the program. (Members who switch from gas to off-peak electric or those undergoing new construction will begin receiving the credits after just three years.)
- To qualify for the credits, your total household energy use for the month must be 500 kilowatt-hours or greater.
- Water heated by alternate source does not qualify for discounted tank price or energy credits.
- Any after-market device added to the tank voids the manufacturer’s warranty.
- Must remain on Peak Shave program or ETS Water Heating Program.
ETS Water Heating Program
- With the electric thermal storage (ETS) water heating program conserves energy by heating water during off-peak hours, when electric costs are the lowest (10pm – 6am) and stores enough water to use during the 16-hour, on-peak portion of the day. By avoiding the use of non-essential electricity during peak times, the Cooperative and its members save money.
- Member will receive a 4.5¢/kWh electric rate for their water heating. *$2 per month basic charge applies.
- A separate meter is required for the ETS water heating program. TWEC provides the socket, and members need to contact their electrician to wire.
- ETS water heating program is recommended for smaller households as the water heater only heats water during off-peak hours.
- Water heated by alternate source does not qualify for discounted tank price or energy credits.
- Any after-market device added to the tank voids the manufacturer’s warranty.
- Must remain on Peak Shave program or ETS Water Heating Program.
