Powering the Future

• When operating a large fleet of vehicles, small practices can make a big difference. Keeping vehicles on a rigorous maintenance schedule helps reduce pollution.
• PEC has one, dual port electric vehicle charging dock at our office in Johnson City, providing employees and members new opportunities to reduce emissions.
• PEC reseeds easements with native grasses and wildflowers to provide habitat for pollinators and wildlife, while saving money by reducing mowing.
• Our vegetation and system maintenance practices help reduce the likelihood of wildfires — prioritizing the most prone areas of wildfire potential.
• PEC establishes and manages acres of pollinator habitat, including Monarch Waystations at its headquarters in Johnson City. This ongoing stewardship supports habitat protection and enhancement, delivering long-term environmental benefits for both the ecosystem and PEC members.

At PEC, we understand that different members have different priorities for their electric service, and we offer rates and programs to suit them all. If you are interested in making your energy consumption more environmentally friendly, review the options below.

• Distributed generation (DG) interconnection – Our cooperative’s comprehensive DG interconnection program assists members interested in installing solar, batteries, or other on-site power solutions. For more information, please visit the Solar and Distributed Generation page.
• Community Solar Rate – This rate gives members the opportunity to purchase solar power generated in the PEC service territory at a rate that reflects development and program costs. For more information, please visit the Community Solar Rate page.
• Time-of-Use Rate – PEC’s Time-of-Use Rate is a great option for members who are able to shift their energy use outside of high-demand times. Rather than a single flat rate, you pay different rates for electricity based on the time of day and season. Under the Time-of-Use Rate plan, when you use electricity is just as important as how much you use. For more information, please visit the Time-of-Use Rate plan page.
• Renewable Energy Rider Rate – Our Renewable Energy Rider Rate ensures that energy billed to you is from a facility that relies exclusively on energy generated from renewable sources. For more information, please visit the renewable options page.
