Lower Valley Energy

The March 27 program was presented by President and CEO Jim Webb.  Jim gave us an update on the efforts of Lower Valley to make the goal of 30% reduction in power demand a reality.  Energy conservation is still the least expense approach to saving energy.  To that end, Lower Valley has several programs that members can review by going to the LVE website.  Lower Valley also delivers natural gas into Jackson Hole.  Source switching from electric heat to natural gas heat contributes to limiting the growth of electrical demand in JH.  We enjoy some of the least expensive electricity in the nation.  We all benefit by keeping our electrical use in check; the alternative is that Lower Valley must procure electricity from far more expensive sources than their long term contract.
