Energy Co-op Brings Power to the People
|
|
|
What if a community owned its electric utility cooperatively, rather than paying a for-profit company? Plumas-Sierra Rural Electric Cooperative could be a model. Energy Services manager Jessica Nelson describes how this locally owned, democratically governed non-profit serves the good of the community.
Besides lower rates, customers benefit from incentives to conserve electricity, install geothermal heating/cooling systems, and solar panels (photovoltaics). The co-op's dream? To not only distribute power but to generate it — through a wind turbine project. (www.psln.com) See Video
