The Village of Greene Electric Department would like to keep our customers informed on a few ways to conserve electricity. This will help with the PPAC (purchase power adjustment charge) on your electric bill.
Remove air conditioning units from windows. Make sure windows and doors are air tight. If you feel a draft seal with one of the many products available to help with that issue. Run washers and dryers in the evening and avoid over drying clothes as this wastes energy. Run dishwashers in the evening. Take short showers and take them in the evening. Turn your thermostat down a few degrees when you are not home and while you are sleeping. Replace standard light bulbs with LED bulbs. Insulate water pipes. Reduce your water heater temperature from 140 degrees to 120 degrees. The cost of electricity is likely to be higher this winter season.  You may have some questions, and we wanted to provide you information to help you prepare for the upcoming winter heating season. 
In addition to the climbing costs of New York State’s energy policies, electricity costs are highly dependent on natural gas prices.  While you, as a customer of a municipally owned electric system, receive the majority of your power from the Niagara Hydroelectric Project, the balance is supplied from New York State’s energy market.  Therefore, you will still see higher bills higher compared to last winter in part due to skyrocketing national and international natural gas and oil prices.  While our hydro supply and hedging supply strategy puts us in a better position to deal with these changes compared with other utilities in the State, some cost increases are still unavoidable.
The State has projected that electricity bills will increase by up to 50% this winter.  By comparison, your power bills for the winter should only increase 11-21% based on our projections for normal winter weather.  Of course, should this winter be colder than normal, those costs will increase more. 
Rest assured that we are doing everything within our power to provide electricity at the lowest possible cost for the winter and beyond.  If you experience difficulties paying energy bills, you may be eligible to receive funds credited directly to your utility bill through the State’s Home Energy Assistance Program (“HEAP”).  In addition, if your heating system is off or is scheduled to be shut-off, you may be eligible for HEAP’s emergency benefits.  You can apply for HEAP benefits at:  https://otda.ny.gov/programs/apply/#heap
You may also want to consider reducing your energy bills through one of the programs offered by the Independent Energy Efficiency Program (“IEEP”).  IEEP helps our customers plan for and install energy-efficient technologies that will reduce your home’s energy needs.  Some of the programs include: incentives of up to $125 to replace existing appliances with energy efficient models; insulation assistance; and support for low-income customers.  Information about IEEP programs is available at https://ieepny.com  Finally, you may want to consider switching to budget billing, which keeps you monthly bill stable.
 If you are having trouble paying your bill please contact us at 607-656-4500, as soon as possible so that we may find a solution that works for your circumstances.
