Reducing electricity consumption is sometimes contradictory to the goals of electrical utilities. For-profit utilities like to see top line growth each year. Government owned utilities are also driven by growth as dictated by their elected bosses. With global warming, both types of utilities are being offered encouragement and sometimes incentives to reduce electricity consumption by their customer base. It is believed that reduced consumption and improved energy efficiency will reduce the amount of non renewable energy spent and burnt in the environment.

The OnPlug was designed to reduce power consumption and is ideally suited for utilities looking to encourage energy efficiency. At the retail price point of  $11.99 the OnPlug is affordable for all homes. Anecdotally, utilites have found that many of their programs are not affordable for lower income families. Solar panels, furnace replacement  even compact fluorescent lights etc. can be very expensive. A single OnPlug sent to every family can serve to cut down on electricity and can also serve to engage customers in a discussion on energy saving.

OnPlug Innovations is very interested in working with utilities on new and existing program development and promotion.
