Helping Customers Save Energy and Lower Costs

Efficiency Smart, a proven model designed specifically for the unique needs of municipal utilities and their customers, helps retail customers save energy and money. The program also assists residential customers in lowering their electric bills and making their homes more comfortable. This includes guidance on reducing electric use, discounts on energy-efficient lighting, and rebates for energy-saving appliances.

Each subscribing community is assigned a dedicated account manager who, along with Efficiency Smart engineering consultants, works with businesses to guide them through all phases of their energy efficiency projects. This includes identifying and prioritizing opportunities to save, reviewing proposals, recommending solutions, providing financial incentives for qualifying projects, and more.

Efficiency Smart is also a tool to help municipal utilities save money. Energy efficiency reduces costs, waste and the overall rate at which utilities buy power. Efficiency Smart provides energy and peak reduction goals for subscribing AMP Member utilities based on their retail electric sales. Megawatt-hour and kilowatt savings are guaranteed at 70 percent of each utility’s established goal. All claimed savings undergo independent savings verification through a third-party evaluation, measurement and verification company hired by AMP.
