Energy conservation One may think that conservation and energy efficiency are one in the same; at Great River Energy we see them as separate and unique strategies that end up with the same result – a reduction in your electric usage and a reduction in your electric bill. Conservation is changing your behavior to reduce your energy consumption and save you money. It may require you to do with less, make slight concessions, or change your lifestyle in some way – these may be big or small depending on how much you’re willing to do and how much you’re committed to saving. |
There are many other examples of energy conservation that are simple and are low or no cost – they just take a commitment on your part to want to save energy, which will reduce your energy costs.
