Pierce Pepin Cooperative Services Live Better

A quick wrap up of 2021, thank you to our listeners and we will back in 2021.

In part two, we discuss how the SHIFT for Savings program will help lower your energy consumption during peak periods.  Shifting your usage during these peak periods, not only will help lower your bill but it will help save your cooperative money as well. These savings are passed on to our members. Help us flatten future rate increases, by flattening the demand curve, our wholesale power bill will be less.

The rates charged to commercial and residential customers is not simply X + Y = Your Bill. The electric industry has complex rates and it starts with the Wholesale Rates we are charged.  In this episode, we review what drives our cooperative rate structures.  This is a two part episode.

A non partisan look at some of the issues facing Pierce Pepin Cooperative Services.  We encourage all of our members to take an opportunity to vote in the November 3rd election.

PPCS hired three interns over the summer to help us in various areas.  Before they left, we asked Will and Jackie to do one last podcast.  Jackie and Will sat down with a couple of staff members to discuss their jobs as well as give everyone an update on what they have been working on over the past few months.  

Hope you enjoy!
