ADDITIONAL SAVINGS FOR DUKE ENERGY CUSTOMERS

ENERGY RESEARCH AT SCHOOLS Schools in Bloomington & Kokomo will be saving solar & wind energy for future use. It's part of a partnership among the OUCC, Duke Energy, and Southern Indiana's Battery Innovation Center.

IS YOUR FURNACE READY?  With the winter heating season around the corner, now is the time to have your furnace checked. If it's fully tuned up, it will help you save energy & money. A furnace tune-up is one of many steps consumers can take to get ready for winter, and the OUCC's website offers a host of low-cost and no-cost tips that will add up to savings. If you're concerned about spikes in your winter heating bills, budget billing can help.  Most Indiana electric & natural gas utilities offer it.
