Every flip of a switch, every adjustment to the thermostat, every small decision about energy use adds up. That is the heart behind our message, What You Save Matters.
We are sharing this slogan as a simple reminder that your everyday choices carry real value. Not just for your monthly bill, but for your family, your neighbors, and the cooperative you help power.
The short-term impact: Relief you can feel right away
Saving energy can bring immediate benefits. Lower usage often means lower bills, which can ease pressure on household budgets. Even small changes make a difference, like turning off lights when leaving a room, using energy efficient appliances, sealing air leaks, or adjusting your thermostat by a few degrees.
Those savings can go toward groceries, school supplies, gas, family outings, or anything else that matters most to you. In times when every dollar counts, conserving energy becomes a practical way to care for your home and loved ones.
The long-term impact: Building a stronger future
Energy savings are not only about today. They are about tomorrow, too.
When members across our system use energy wisely, it helps reduce overall demand. That helps control costs over time and supports long-term reliability of the electric grid. It also plays a role in protecting our natural resources for future generations.
Children learn from what they see. When they grow up in homes where conservation is part of daily life, they carry those habits forward. That creates a lasting impact that reaches far beyond a single household.
How your savings help the cooperative
Lower system demand can help manage wholesale power costs. That supports financial stability, keeps rates more affordable, and allows us to continue investing in infrastructure, safety, technology, and service improvements. Your thoughtful energy use directly supports the long-term health of the cooperative that belongs to you.
A simple reminder with a meaningful message
Stop by a TVEC office in February 2026 for a free wallet case (while supplies last). This is more than a giveaway for our members during Heart Month. It is a reminder that your choices matter every day.
What you save matters when it helps a parent stretch a paycheck. What you save matters when it teaches a child responsibility.
What you save matters when it supports the strength of your cooperative. What you save matters because it reflects care for your community.
Thank you for being part of our cooperative family and for the many ways you help power a brighter future.
