Investing in students near you

We love to support education by fostering students’ success. This year, we delivered school supplies to elementary-aged students to help them prepare for the new school year. Through our Backpack Builders program, we distributed over 2,500 packages of supplies like pens, pencils, crayons and notebooks to schools throughout our service territory. Learn more about our community efforts at pplelectric.com/blog.

Our budget plan offers predictable payments for peace of mind. We’ll average your electric use for the entire year to help reduce the seasonal fluctuations in your bill and make your payments more consistent. Sign up at pplelectric.com/budget.

Rule your attic!
Proper insulation makes all the difference

Did you know nine out of 10 American homes are under-insulated? Making sure your attic is well sealed and properly insulated is one of the most important steps you can take to improve the comfort of your home and prevent wasted energy.

Does your insulation measure up?
Call a contractor or measure your attic insulation yourself. An R-49 insulation level (recommended by the United States Department of Energy) corresponds to 16 to 18 inches of attic insulation when using common materials like fiberglass, mineral wool and cellulose.

We offer rebates and a network of trusted contractors.

Rebates include:

Air sealing: Up to $200
Insulation: 75% of the cost, up to $500
