Sign Up for Load Management Today!
How does the switch work? The load management switch is used to cycle the air conditioner compressor off for approximately 7 ½ minutes out of every 30 minutes. The hours of this activation are typically Monday through Friday between 3:00 p.m. and 8: 00 p.m. Why is it important to reduce peak demand? Peak demand determines, in part, the cost of wholesale electricity purchased by SEMC. As peak demand grows, we must either build or buy expensive generating facilities to keep up with this increased demand, meaning the possibility of more costs for our consumer. By helping to control peak demand, you can help keep power cost lower and conserve energy. Isn’t there a rebate? The switch is not only installed at no cost, but is also maintained by Sawnee EMC free of charge. You will also receive an annual $10.00 rebate per switch – payable as a $5.00 credit on your August and September billing statements. Ready to sign up? It is easy to participate!

Another Round of Funds is
Distributed!
In November 2005, the Sawnee
Electric Membership Foundation‘s Operation Round
Up distributed funds to charitable organizations in our

local communities by making charitable gifts, allows
Sawnee EMC members to round up their electric bill to
the next highest dollar. In turn, 100% of the
funds donated are given to qualifying non-profit 501
(c)(3) organizations.
