We Keep Your Costs Low
Being served by a non-profit, customer-owned utility will help keep your operating costs as low as possible over the long term. We can demonstrate this 'public power advantage' with operating cost estimates and energy cost comparisons based on your production forecasts. We'll also work with you to identify innovative ways to use energy more efficiently and help you determine potential cost savings so you can assess the impact on your bottom line.

Power Quality Services
WPPI Energy's energy experts use advanced technology to identify electrical problems in a facility and achieve a high level of power quality. We'll collect and analyze the data needed to help you evaluate power quality solutions and improve the performance of your operations.

New Construction Design Assistance
To help make your new construction project as energy efficient as possible, we'll provide design-phase technical assistance to help you acquire energy savings and demand reduction in new buildings, additions or major renovations. Through our partnership with Focus on Energy, we'll also work with you to make sure your business receives any available financial incentives for energy efficiency improvements.

Energy Conservation Financing
We can assist with up-front costs of energy efficiency projects at your facility by providing grants for feasibility studies, as well as loans and incentives to support your conservation efforts. Through our Shared Savings program, a customer may receive a loan from Stoughton Utilities to implement qualifying energy efficiency improvements or advance energy cost savings. Often, the monthly loan repayment amount is less than the energy cost savings.

Renewable Energy Options
Through our Choose Renewable program, you can harness the marketing power of green energy and reduce your business' environmental impact by purchasing blocks of power produced from renewable resources such as wind, hydroelectric and biogas. You can choose to offset some of your businesses energy needs, or offset your entire energy footprint. We also offer grants, incentives, and design assistance for the installation and use of solar panels, wind power, microturbines, fuel cells, co-generation and other renewable energy technologies at your own facility.
