PEC PRESS RELEASE - At its June 20 Annual Membership Meeting, Pedernales Electric introduced its newest online conservation effort, MyUse Energy Analyzer. The tool will allow PEC members to view their daily electric use in kilowatt-hours and dollars so they can better monitor and manage their monthly electric consumption, budget accordingly and reduce their environmental impact. Members also will be able to subscribe to mid-point notification e-mails detailing their current unbilled kwh use.

“PEC’s MyUse Energy Analyzer is an exciting tool,” PEC General Manager Juan Garza said. “We encourage members to conserve electricity, and with MyUse, they will have the ability to view their daily use and change costly electric habits. This is just the first in a continuing series of beneficial products we hope to be unveiling in the future.”

To ensure the tool would serve its members, PEC conducted focus groups and used member feedback to guide the development of MyUse. “It is important for us to gather member input, and we’ve utilized members’ specific ideas to improve MyUse,” said PEC Communications Manager Michael Racis. “We’ve married emerging technology and member suggestions to create a conservation tool PEC members can benefit from.”

The tool will be available online at www.pec.coop for all PEC members to utilize beginning in July 2009. For more information about PEC’s MyUse Energy Analyzer, call us toll-free at 1-888-554-4732.
