Connect to Save Earn incentives for using less energy during peak hours Do you currently own or plan on purchasing a smart thermostat? If so, we encourage you to enroll in Connect to Save, a pilot for Southeastern Indiana REMC’s electric residential members. Connect to Save rewards you for allowing us to adjust your thermostat energy use during certain peak periods. Upon enrollment approval, you’ll receive an initial incentive of $75 per device enrolled. Each year after that, you will receive an additional $25 per enrolled device.* Apply Now! What is Connect to Save? When temperatures soar or plummet, home heating and cooling use also increases, creating an “energy rush hour.” Electric cooperatives such as Southeastern Indiana REMC request more generation to meet the higher demand, which in turn drives up power costs. By lowering energy use throughout our system during times of peak demand, we can lower our power costs. Because electric cooperatives are not-for-profit, those savings are then passed on to you. Together, we can work to lower costs. A smart thermostat can help you use less energy during rush hour by cooling or heating your home ahead of time. Adjusting the temperature a few degrees thereafter is all it takes to help keep power costs down. Eligible Devices Smart Thermostats Your thermostat will adjust the temperature to balance energy savings. If you wish not to participate, you can always choose to change the temperature on your thermostat and opt out of that particular event. How does it work ? For starters, you must connect your enrolled device to Wi-Fi and enroll in Connect to Save. During times of high electricity demand or “peak energy use” when air conditioners or heaters kick into high gear, you will be notified via email, and your enrolled device will respond accordingly to reduce consumption.

My Solar COMMUNITY SOLAR OFFERED TO YOU BY YOUR LOCAL ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE Affordable, sustainable and safe supply of solar electricity is being offered in partnership with our wholesale provider, Hoosier Energy. This program will be extended on a first-come, first-served basis to all members who want to invest in, and be a part of, a cooperative solar program without having to own and maintain a rooftop solar system. You asked for it, we researched it, and we are now offering it: solar energy for your home without the hassle of ownership or maintenance! Southeastern Indiana REMC heard your request for more renewable energy. We understand that in our region, it may be hard for some of our members to do this on their own. Trees, permits, financing and roof issues may have been road blocks in the past. But not anymore. Southeastern Indiana REMC is excited to offer a community solar program called My Solar. This program allows any member to use solar energy at their home or business without installing or maintaining a private solar project. Member participants are able to share in the output from one of 10 solar arrays already located around southern Indiana. The power generated at the solar arrays is transported from the arrays, through the poles and wires Southeastern Indiana REMC has already built and maintains. Nothing new needs to be attached. You’re set! The My Solar program offers members the opportunity to purchase one share of the community solar project. One share is equivalent to the energy from one solar panel. The size of the panels varies between the 10 solar sites, but averages ~330 Watts. In one year, one share will produce ~450 – 500 kWh. Each participant is limited to 12 panels – approximately three kW. Southeastern Indiana REMC participants will have the option of either paying a fixed monthly rate or an upfront payment for participation in My Solar. Detailed information on the payment plan(s) can be obtained by clicking the button below or by calling our office at 800-737-4111. We are excited to talk to you about My Solar! The My Solar program will work for any property; home or business. Now you can support renewable energy without the hassle of ownership. Southeastern Indiana REMC is excited to offer this great opportunity that allows you to decide where your energy comes from.

Indiana’s Winter Weather Can Create Electrical Hazards When winter arrives, Hoosiers are never sure of what to expect. Indiana winters include everything from heavy snows, to freezing rain, to ice storms — and sometimes, all of those in a single day. All of those forms of winter weather can create hazards related to electricity, reports Indiana Electric Cooperatives (IEC). “Being safe around electricity is a year-round need, but Indiana winters include many dangerous hazards, especially where power lines are concerned,” says Keith Mathews, CEO at SEI REMC. “Snow and ice often accumulate on power lines, and the added weight may cause them to snap off the power poles, or to cause the poles to break,” Coons explains. “That can bring power lines into contact with the ground, trees, homes, vehicles, and other objects. If people or pets come in contact with a live power line, they can suffer serious injury or even death.” Many people assume that if a line is down and they don’t see sparks, the line isn’t carrying current. But that’s not necessarily the case. “The safest approach is to assume that every power line is energized until a professional determines otherwise,” says Coons. “If you see that a power line is down, you should call the local power company or 911 immediately so repair crews can be dispatched.” Even if you don’t touch a downed power line, you can be in danger. “There may be enough current that the ground or other surfaces touching the line may be energized. If the ground, a fence, or a vehicle is in contact with a live line and you touch any of those objects, you’ll put yourself at risk for electrocution. That’s especially true when the ground is wet or snow-covered.” shared Coons, “The best advice is simply to keep your distance.” If you discover a low or fallen line, following these recommended safety tips: Consider all wires energized and dangerous. Do not attempt to remove a tree limb or other object from a power line. Electricity can travel through limbs, especially when they are wet. If a power line falls across your car, the best option is to stay inside. Honk your horn to get the attention of those around you, and wait for rescue professionals to tell you that it is safe to get out of the vehicle. If anyone approaches, warn them to stay away. If you MUST get out of the car due to fire or other imminent danger, jump out quickly and avoid touching any part of the vehicle while your feet are also on the ground. Put your feet together and shuffle or hop away slowly, making sure that you keep your feet on the ground while not touching any nearby objects. Move as far from the vehicle as you can. Never drive over downed power lines. You may think that your rubber tires will protect you, but if any part of your car’s metal comes in contact with the wire or any adjacent object has become energized, the electricity can flow into your vehicle. If someone makes contact with a power line, call 9-1-1. Trying to assist the person will likely cause you to come into contact with the electricity. It’s better to let trained professionals deal with the situation than to make yourself a victim of electrocution.
