< Back Earth Day: Celebrate and Save with Paperless and AutoPay Apr 22, 2024 Earth Day is the annual observance that recognizes the importance of protecting the planet and its resources. Prince George Electric Cooperative wants to help you participate in the celebration on April 22 with clean initiatives that will also make your life easier. Here are two small things that you can do to save and reduce your carbon footprint this year: AutoPay: Automatically paying your bills electronically each month with debit/credit card autopay or bank draft.

Paperless billing: PGEC can also help you reduce your paper usage through paperless billing. Opting to receive your bill via email each month is both member friendly and earth friendly. At PGEC, we mail more than 11,000 bills each month. That’s more than 132,000 bills each year. Imagine how much we can reduce that number with your help.

< Back Cooking up energy savings this Thanksgiving Nov 27, 2024 With rising prices for groceries, many may be looking for ways to save this Thanksgiving holiday. While your cooperative may not be able to lower your Thanksgiving dinner budget this year, there are simple ways to “cook up” energy savings this year. If you’ll be hosting this year’s festivities or cooking up a storm, here are a few ways to ensure your energy bill looks as good as your turkey: Bag your turkey : Try cooking your turkey in an oven safe bag this Thanksgiving. Not only will the bag lock in juices and flavor, but it will reduce your cook time. Try no-bake recipes : Opt for a no-bake dessert recipe that has all of the same homemade love with less stress on your oven. Put other appliances to work : Use a kettle to boil water for stovetop dishes like pasta or vegetables. Also consider using the microwave to cook whenever possible. Choose the right baking dish : Glass and ceramic dishes retain heat better than metal, allowing you to reduce oven temperature by 25 degrees Fahrenheit less than what the recipe calls for. Break it down : Smaller pieces of food cook faster. Consider this tip for preparing potatoes, corn and vegetables. Set the mood with energy-efficient lighting : Don’t forget to set the mood for your dinner with energy-efficient lighting light LED bulbs. Monitor your energy usage post-dinner: Monitor your usage with SmartHub post-dinner. Log into your PGEC SmartHub app and activate features like usage monitoring to see the savings you’ve scored during the game. For more information, visit https://www.pgec.coop/smarthub .

Zion Church’s annual “Back to School Bash” event. Supplies included notebooks, pencils and crayons. Brittany Tann, the co-op’s senior communications specialist, expressed her sentiments about the co-op’s contribution. “One of the most satisfying aspects of working for a co-op is the opportunity for genuine community engagement,” Tann says. She expressed that this was her second year coordinating the co-op’s participation in the back-to-school event. “We understand that times may be tight for everyone, and we want you to know that we’re more than just an energy provider.
