Tim Sherlock PREMA’s Load Management and SCADA Coordinators present refund checks to Gary and Randy Benda representing Benda Land and Cattle for participating in Load Management in 2012

With the region’s dry conditions this year, PREMA experienced historically high usage (kWh) and demand (kW). Due to the high demand PREMA had the opportunity to shave its peak and reduce PREMA’s power bill. Load Management participants saved a total of $306,430 for 2012.

Each account enrolled in Load Management received a portion of this savings on the monthly bill. PREMA’s total savings was more than was anticipated and more than previous years. With this abundance of savings the PREMA Board has voted to pass back an additional $106,500 to 2012 participants.
