Energy Efficiency Programs
Energy efficiency programs help keep customer rates low by encouraging efficient energy choices and behaviors. Through these programs RMLD works to reduce overall energy demand especially during expensive peak demand times. These savings can help RMLD manage costs more effectively and maintain stable, affordable rates. Energy efficiency also contributes to a cleaner, more reliable energy system, benefiting both customers and the community.
RMLD residential programs provide customers with education, services, and financial incentives to improve energy efficiency. Rebates encourage customers to purchase energy-efficient equipment that they may not have considered, making it more cost-effective to save energy.
- Am I eligible for rebates through Mass Save?
-
As a municipal electric utility, RMLD operates its own energy efficiency and rebate programs that are separate from privately owned electric utility programs offered by Mass Save. As such, RMLD customers are solely eligible for electricity-related rebates offered by RMLD. RMLD customers that are served by a Mass Save participating natural gas provider may be eligible for natural gas-specific rebates from Mass Save.
- How long will it take to get my rebate?
-
Your rebate application and documentation will be reviewed by RMLD staff. After the inspector calls the wire ok, it usually takes 2 to 4 weeks before the customer receives the rebate.
Rebates will be issued as either a bill credit or as a check, depending on the program.
