Customer demand for energy efficiency services was greater than ever in 2015, and Platte River answered the call.
Efficiency Works™ – a partnership between Platte River and the utilities of its owner municipalities – gives customers a single place to go for assistance with improving efficiency and saving money. An all-time high level of customer participation was achieved in 2015 as a result of close collaboration among Platte River and municipal utility staffs in the areas of program promotion, customer and contractor engagement, and continual evaluation of the effectiveness of program attributes such as efficiency requirements, rebates, and administrative processes.
