Energy efficiency upgrades
everyone can get behind
What is On-Bill Repayment?
We’re making energy efficiency and electrification upgrades more accessible for homeowners, businessowners, schools and agricultural producers across our service territory. This program connects our members and their consumers to the entire energy efficiency ecosystem: rebates, financing, education, qualified contractors, equipment and energy audits. Our goal with on-bill repayment is to empower communities systemwide to reduce emissions and reduce energy costs. Together, we can electrify and save.

Homeowners
We’re teaming up with members to offer their communities financing for home efficiency upgrades. Through on-bill repayment, these home upgrades are repaid over time via a voluntary tariff on the homeowner’s monthly electric bill. In many cases the energy savings achieved through the newly installed measures is greater than the monthly repayment. From heat pump water heaters to new windows and doors, the available upgrades will directly improve quality of life with no money down, no credit check, and low interest rates thanks to this member-exclusive offer.
Contractors
Qualified contractors are a major part of the On-Bill Repayment program. We recruit, train and incentivize local contractors to make sure homeowners are able to maximize the efficiency of their upgrades. We’re reducing energy waste through air sealing and insulation, and we’re reducing residential emissions by incentivizing non-combustion equipment like heat pumps and heat pump water heaters.
Better Serving Agricultural Communities
Agricultural producers have access to irrigation assessments that identify low and no cost measures to improve irrigation coverage. These assessments meet standards for federal funding that can cover at least 60% of improvement gaps. Though On-Bill Repayment, irrigators can bridge potential gaps between federal funds and total implementation costs. We help connect irrigators with qualified assessors and offer rebates for commercial equipment, such as motors and variable speed drives. Together with our members, we’re helping agricultural producers increase yield and decrease energy spend.
