Utilities

Partnership with E-Star™ manifests a utility’s commitment to address community concerns about energy efficiency, conservation efforts and demand side management, and pollution resulting from fossil fuel use. Despite organizational differences, Investor Owned Utilities, Municipally Owned Utilities and Rural Electric Cooperatives all strive to deal with the concerns of their respective communities. These concerns come from a variety of sectors including residential and business consumers, builder and trade firms, regulators, governmental officials, investors, and public interest groups. E-Star understands the energy-efficiency concerns of each of these sectors, and helps utilities address them.

Efficient energy use in the residential market is a boon to utility conservation. E-Star’s turnkey program includes elements such as the Energy Rating service, which helps utilities to quickly resolve consumers’ comfort or utility cost concerns. Utility customers referred to E-Star find solutions to such concerns through Home Energy Ratings, recommended contractors, and home improvement financing options.

Utility consumers appreciate the proactive approach of a utility that participates in E-Star’s programs. As a result, an E-Star Utility can count on closer relationships with all stakeholders.
