Administered by: Piedmont Electric Membership Corporation
Quick Summary
You can receive lower electricity rates by having your home certified as energy efficient through either PEMC's Energy Efficient (RS-EE) rate for homes meeting specified equipment efficiency standards, or the Energy Star (RS-ES) rate for homes verified by a third party to meet EPA Energy Star standards—resulting in reduced per-kWh charges on your bill.
