We Can Teach you How to Lower Electric Bill
MP&W is committed to helping customers save energy dollars. What's good for your electric bill is also good for our Utility, our community and for the environment.

Energize Muscatine, the MP&W developed extensive energy efficiency program, promotes energy efficient practices. Partially funded by a grant from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Energize Muscatine, helped customers from 1998-2008 reduce their need for energy by a total of 60,375,643 kWh – for a total energy cost savings of $4,226,295!

To encourage and assist our customers in using energy more wisely, we have residential, as well as commercial, energy efficiency programs in place to help identify and actually reduce electric energy consumption.

MP&W offers a free energy inspection and/or blower door test to determine air exchanges in homes. We pay a portion of spring central air conditioner tune-up inspection costs performed by technicians.

Energy efficient appliance rebate programs for new appliances, air conditioners, compact fluorescent lighting, dishwasher and clothes washers, electric ranges, dryers, electric water heaters and refrigerators.

Residential customers who participated in the 2008 compact fluorescent bulb rebate followed by our air conditioner program resulted in energy savings of approximately 2,226,240 kWh. We processed about 1,600 residential rebates worth $107,662.

Why We Offer Energy Efficiency Programs
Education leads to a better community and reducing demand on scarce and expensive natural resources protects our environment. As a utility, we can sell our excess energy on the wholesale market, which means much lower electric prices.

In the past decade our residential rebate program participation has tripled. Many customers are doing their part. Every time steps are taken to save energy, it helps the next generations.
