Energy Efficiency Programs

Energy Efficiency Implementation Plan

Graham County Electric Cooperative, Inc. (GCEC) filed an application with the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) requesting approval of its Electric Energy Efficiency (EE) Implementation Plan for 2014 and 2015
GCEC was required to submit an energy efficiency plan in order to comply with Arizona Administrative Code R14-2-2418. After hearing and evaluating the EE plan, the ACC issued Decision Number 74088 on September 23, 2013, approving the plan

A copy of the EE plan and ACC decision can be found on the Arizona Corporation Commission website under Docket Number E-01749A-13-0184
The EE plan includes several new programs available to GCEC members designed to help reduce their electric energy usage and ultimately their utility bill
All EE programs are subject to available funding and the requirements as set forth in the approved EE plan

GCEC has partnered with non-profit organizations such as Southeastern Arizona Community Action Programs (SEACAP) to provide funding and support for existing low-income weatherization programs
The goal of this program is to improve energy efficiency in homes in the GCEC service area by assisting low-income residents in reducing energy use and lowering their utility bills
This is done by implementing year-round weatherization measures
This program is provided at no cost to eligible GCEC members whose income is at or below 200% of Federal Poverty Guidelines
The program includes a SEACAP representative determining the work needed and installing weatherization measures on approved homes and structures
Weatherization includes caulking and weather-stripping, insulation (attic, wall, & duct), and other energy efficiency measures as needed
Interested GCEC members must contact SEACAP for an application by calling (928) 428-4653

Local community programs are available to help those in need of paying their utility bill.
