  • Beat The Peak | SEIREMC

    Beat The Peak Program Beat the Peak is a voluntary program of Southeastern Indiana REMC designed to encourage members to reduce their energy usage during peak demand periods. You will not see a credit on your bill for conserving energy nor will you be charged more for power if you do not conserve. This is a voluntary program, which benefits all Co-op members. Currently, 66% of the REMCs operating cost is for the wholesale power we purchase from Hoosier Energy. If we all work together to help reduce the demand during peak times, we can reduce the REMC's power costs. Because Southeastern Indiana REMC is a not-for-profit utility, those savings are passed on to you in the form of affordable rates. Peak demand periods occur when the demand for electricity is the highest - weekdays June-August, 4-7 p.m. and December-February, 7-10 a.m. and 6-9 p.m. During these peak periods, the co-op is charged a higher cost from our power supplier, Hoosier Energy. If we can all work together to reduce the demand, we can reduce the REMC's power costs and minimize increases you may receive on your bill. How the Beat the Peak Program works: Members - Text #BeatThePeak to 22300 to opt-in to receive text only alerts or receive notifications via phone, email, and text . SEIREMC - Send BEAT THE PEAK ALERT to notify members of the date and time of the anticipated peak period. Members - Reduce energy consumption during peak period.

  • ecobee Smart Thermostat ProgramAgreement | SEIREMC

    Southeastern Indiana Rural Electric Membership Corporation ecobee Residential Smart Thermostat Program Agreement Thank you for your interest in the Southeastern Indiana Rural Electric Membership Corporation’s (“Cooperative”) Residential Smart Thermostat Program (“Program”), a service offered in partnership with ecobee, Ltd (“ecobee”), to help reduce the Cooperative’s kilowatt demand during critical periods (“Event”). The Program allows you to participate in a program for residential customers offered by the Cooperative using an ecobee3 lite* thermostat (“thermostat”). As part of the Program, customers will receive a personally optimized curtailment adjustment to the thermostat to reduce demand on the electric grid. With eco+ enabled, the temperature adjustment is an optimization algorithm that will be tailored to the customer’s savings preferences. An optimization algorithm is unique to each customer and is a combination of input from the customer (dictated by the comfort preference scale in the eco+ set up), thermodynamics of the home, performance of the HVAC system, Event length, pre-cool or pre-heat setting and occupancy patterns. At any time, the customer may opt out of an Event or override this automatic change simply by adjusting the thermostat to a different temperature or using the ecobee mobile application. Eligibility Requirements The Program is available to Cooperative residential electric members who meet certain eligibility requirements. In order to participate, you must: (a) be a Cooperative residential electric service active account holder; (b) have a reliable high-speed internet service at the Cooperative electric service address; (c) have an active ecobee account linked to your ecobee thermostat; and (d) agree to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. In addition, the Program is offered by the Cooperative for the summer season (June, July and August) and winter season (December, January and February), and requires an installed operable ecobee thermostat. During the summer season the ecobee thermostat must be controlling an air conditioning unit, and during the winter season the ecobee thermostat must be controlling any electric heat source, both at your Cooperative service address. Incentive(s) During the Program, Cooperative account holders participating in the Program are eligible to receive an ecobee3 lite* thermostat at no additional cost (“Incentive”) for enrolling and continued enrollment in the Program for at least two (2) years. The Cooperative will provide a $10 incentive for each of the summer months (June, July, August) and winter months (December, January, February) for participation in load shed events. The Cooperative may choose to develop and implement other incentive offers related to thermostat operation. If the Cooperative develops additional incentives, the account holder is eligible to participate in these future offers. The Cooperative will contact the account holder in the event additional offers become available. The Incentives are provided solely by the Cooperative. ecobee bears no responsibility for the Incentives. The Cooperative reserves the right to seek further information to verify your eligibility for the Incentives. If you opt out of a load shed event, you will not receive the incentive. Consistently opting out of load shed events within the first 2 years will result in termination from the program and you will be charged the cost of the ecobee device. * If you are currently enrolled in the Generac Generator Program you are ineligible for the ecobee Smart Thermostat Program. Agreement By submitting this Agreement, you agree that: ecobee may share certain information (including, but not limited to, your name, email address, service address, Cooperative account number, ecobee thermostat serial number, activation date, ecobee account status, operational data such as temperature set point, fan status, heating or cooling mode, compressor and fan runtimes, and opt-in or opt-out status) with the Cooperative and its third party program implementers, contractors, and/or agents to verify that you are eligible to participate in the Program, to implement the Program, and to evaluate the comprehensive energy impact of the ecobee thermostat. In addition, ecobee may share with the Cooperative your decision to opt out of Program or your deletion of your ecobee account, each of which will automatically result in the termination of your enrollment in Program. Member agrees to maintain network connectivity to the thermostat through Member’s high-speed internet service, and agrees, to the extent practical, to keep network connection in operating condition. Member agrees to be contacted by e-mail, text, mail, or telephone if, for any reason, Cooperative needs to verify connectivity, or member status. Member agrees to allow Cooperative employees or its contractors access to the participating thermostat installation. The information you have provided as part of this Agreement is truthful and you meet the minimum eligibility requirements. ecobee or the Cooperative may terminate this Agreement and not enroll you, or terminate your enrollment in the Program if you are not truthful in the information you submit as part of this Agreement, if you do not satisfy eligibility requirements, or for any other reason. You are using Program on a voluntary basis. You agree to participate in the Program in accordance with the ecobee Terms of Service, privacy policies and other policies on ecobee’s website (www.ecobee.com/legal/use/) and applicable laws and regulations. You release and hold harmless ecobee and the Cooperative from any liability, claim, demand, cause of action, damage or expense resulting from your participation in the Program. This Agreement is effective upon your submitting this Agreement and will continue until you, the Cooperative or ecobee cancels your participation. * ecobee thermostat model may change at the discretion of the Cooperative.

  • Vegetation Management | SEIREMC

    Vegetation Management Our communities depend upon the safe, reliable and affordable delivery of electricity. One of the leading causes of interruptions to the safe flow of electricity is trees and other plants growing too high or coming too close to power lines. To safeguard the reliability of the distribution system, Southeastern Indiana REMC has implemented a vegetation management plan to control the growth of trees and other woody-stemmed vegetation around equipment and rights-of-way. The goal of this plan is to balance our society's need for reliable energy with respect for the environment while complying with all applicable laws and federal requirements. Proper selection and placement of trees minimizes the need for utility pruning Trees are responsible for nearly two-thirds of our outages each year Southeastern Indiana REMC trims trees on our electric system on a regular 5-year cycle Trees must coexist with a variety of human-made structures, both above and below ground. Most commonly they compete for space with overhead power lines, but trees also conflict with communication lines, street lighting, buildings, lines of sight, sidewalks, roads, and underground utilities. The best way to maximize the many benefits provided by trees is to plant them where they will not outgrow their space. However, trees that threaten the integrity of utility or other vital infrastructure must be pruned or removed. Stormy weather can blow tree limbs into distribution lines, causing outages, and even toppling the trunks entirely, breaking poles and creating hazards. Limbs and leaves in contact with power lines can conduct electricity, creating a potentially dangerous condition for anyone who comes near. Tree-to-line contact also contributes to what electric system professionals call "line loss." The term refers to electricity created at a generating plant that does not reach its destination, an inefficiency that increases costs for everyone. Southeastern Indiana REMC spends considerable amounts of money every year to trim trees. The REMC specifies to our contractors that all power lines should be cleared at least 20 feet on each side of the power line and 20 feet underneath the line. Experience has shown us these are the minimum distances we can trim to keep a safe, reliable flow of electricity and be cost-effective. Please contact our office if you have trees on your property that could endanger the power lines. Do not tackle this job yourself. Every year amateur tree trimmers are hurt or killed when trying to clear limbs near power lines. Call the professionals at the REMC. Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden Southeastern Indiana REMC partnered with the Cincinnati Zoo in 2011 to allow them to collect clippings twice a week during the months of June, July and August. These clippings are taken back to the zoo, washed and freeze-dried, to help feed the animals throughout the winter months. Helicopter Tree Trimming Highly skilled pilots use a 10-bladed saw, suspended below the helicopter, to trim limbs in right-of-way reducing the risk of injury to tree workers, as well as the time and cost associated with ground-to-sky trimming in difficult terrain and remote areas. National Wildlife Turkey Federation Southeastern Indiana REMC has partnered with the National Wild Turkey Federation to plant wildflowers and grasses in our right-of-way’s when possible
