I hope this letter finds you well as we navigate the height of summer and look forward to the new season ahead. Though our temperatures may indicate otherwise, autumn is just around the corner and brings the promise of fresh starts, new leadership and even cooler climates.
As a member-owned cooperative, the election of our Board of Directors is a pivotal event. It gives you, our members, the opportunity to have a direct impact on how EnergyUnited is governed. I encourage you all to participate in this democratic process by casting your vote. Your voice matters, and your participation ensures that our cooperative reflects the values and priorities of our community. You can find more information on our website and in this month’s newsletter.
Our commitment to innovation and community support is showcased through our Bright Ideas education grant program. This initiative funds creative projects proposed by local educators, enriching the learning experience for students across our service area. We are proud to continue supporting our teachers who make meaningful differences in the lives of our youth.
For those of us still feeling the summer heat, I want to remind you of our energy saving tips. Simple steps like adjusting your thermostat, using energy-efficient appliances and properly sealing windows and doors can significantly impact your energy consumption. Visit our website for more energy saving information, like our two demand response programs (Beat the Peak and Peak Time Perks) that are available to you.
We understand that some members may face challenges, which is why we offer our Energy Assistance Program. This program is designed to provide support to those who qualify. If you or someone you know could benefit, visit our website and find out more under the “EnergyUnited Foundation” tab. We are here to help ensure everyone in our community has access to safe, affordable, reliable energy.
Summer may be ending, but the promise of newness is just beginning. We want to wish all students, teachers and staff a successful and fulfilling academic year ahead.
As always, I want to thank each of you for being a valued member of EnergyUnited. Your continued support and involvement strengthen our cooperative and our community. If you have any questions or feedback, please feel free to contact us. We are always here for you.
Sincerely,
Thomas Golden, CEO
