How can Two Meters be Better than One?
In todays energy market it is sometimes difficult to find a bargain. Gasoline, propane,
natural gas and fuel oil all have seen substantial increases in the past. The energy
of choice for heating stands out - Butte Electric's $0.049 heat rate. Any member
with electric heat may qualify. A second meter is installed on the electric heating
equipment with the member benefitting by receiving the kwh used for heating for
the months October thru May, at $0.049per kwh.
For over twenty years this rate has and continues to be a great value, with excellent
stability and the benefit of some of the most efficient and comfortable heating
systems available. Electricity is the only fuel that can offer this stability and
while we are never certain what the future may bring, there is a strong commitment
to continue to offer this very successful rate at afordable levels far into the
future.
Look towards electricity first for all your energy needs and see the savings now
and well into the future.
