Off-peak Program

Off-Peak Program and Load Control

In exchange for allowing us to control your devices during systemwide peak electricity usage we offer a reduced off-peak rate. 

The most common devices controlled are water heaters, air conditioners and heat pumps. Grain dryers, irrigation systems and even entire businesses with backup generators can be controlled. Electric heat is not controlled.

Why does Verendrye have the program?

We can reduce our power bill by reducing peak demand. That’s because we pay a power bill based on usage and demand.

Learn more about the program with the short video and brochure attached to this page.

Contact Member Services for more information.
