Load Control Informational Meeting for Irrigators

Midwest Energy is announcing a voluntary Load Control Program (LCP) for customers on the Standard Irrigation rate, beginning in June 2025. An informational meeting is being held online Tuesday, April 8 from 9-10 a.m. Central time, to explain the program and enroll customers. Eligible customers may join the Town Hall at https://tinyurl.com/yms4jyfe. 

Customers participating in the LCP can earn a bill credit for each account by curtailing usage when requested. Cutrailments will be requested from June through September, between the hours of 1-9 PM Central, with a maximum of 20 curtailments per season, and no more than one per day. Participants would be given a minimum of two hours notice prior to a curtailment, with communication coming via text message. No additional equipment will be necessary to validate participation, and any equipment needed to automate the curtailment will be optional and provided by the customer. Manual curtailment is an option as well. 

Irrigation customers with questions about the program or the meeting may call Midwest Energy at 785-625-1428.
