Go Green, Save Money

Crow Wing Power Key Account Executive Rick Peterson said a simple way to save money on anything is to use less of it. Peterson said electricity, for example, is difficult to store and use later but it can be sent along distribution lines at a different pace. Peterson said cycling energy during the summer to customers who agree to off-peak electricity use is one way to accomplish that. He said he's used the system at his house during the last couple of summers and it seems to maintain a good, liveable temperature and allows him to cut his hot month energy bill by about 50%.
