Energy Guide

Northern Neck Electric Cooperative is committed to energy conservation. Providing information to help members track their energy usage and conserve electricity is an important service for NNEC. Why? There is a steadily increasing demand for electricity across the country. Fuels used to generate electricity have skyrocketed in price. When members conserve electricity, they are reducing their energy costs and NNEC's energy costs for generated power. It makes sense to members, considering that you own the cooperative that delivers your electric power. It's in your interest to make sure your own plans-and by extension those of NNEC-include conservative ways of using electricity. To learn more ways to help keep the cost of electricity down, visit NNEC's "Beat the Peak" Web site.
