Will participating in Santee Cooper Rewards help me save on my bill?

Although some customers may see a small reduction in energy use, the program isn’t designed to lower overall consumption. Its main goal is to shift when you use energy to times when demand is lower, helping keep energy prices more affordable and making the electric grid more reliable.

However, installing a smart thermostat can save you energy and money (compared to a standard thermostat or programmable thermostat). If you don't have a smart thermostat, buying one can improve your home’s energy efficiency. Santee Cooper Marketplace offers discounts and instant rebates on smart thermostats that are already approved for the Rewards program.
