Electric Vehicle Program
Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming a hot item in the auto world, with many
manufacturers offering at least one model. Improved versions are on the horizon
and for good reason. EVs provide environmental advantages and tax credits,
along with lower operating costs, often balancing out the initial investment.
They require no oil changes, belts, air filters, spark plugs and many other
parts that occasionally need replacement in a gasoline car. Charge up with
clean, American made electricity.
Rate Options
• Time of Use Rate (TOU): Take advantage of off-peak rates for EV
charging and whole home usage
• Sub-meter Rate: Sub-meter your Level 2 Charger to take advantage of
off-peak evening charging as low as 5.44 cents per kWh
Rebate Options
• Rebate for a level 2 charger-- Up to $250 with the installation of a
sub-meter or up to $500 with participation in the TOU rate
• Rebate for one year’s worth of Renewable Energy Credits (RECs)--
Choose to have 100% of your energy come entirely from renewables
for the first 12 months after the purchase of an electric vehicle
Energy Audits
Members with existing homes can select the energy audit level that fits their needs. The audit
recommendation report will provide weatherization and energy saving techniques.
LEVEL 1 - $45 plus tax: On-site walk-through assessment for members considering weatherization
upgrades.
LEVEL 2 - $175 plus tax: On-site energy audit inspection provided by a certified energy advisor with options
of infrared camera imaging and blower door testing.
Members will also receive a complimentary weatherization kit with a level 1 or level 2 audit.
Weatherization Sealing and insulating the envelope of your home is a cost-effective way to improve
energy efficiency and comfort. Sioux Valley Energy offers a weatherization rebate
of 20% of the project costs up to a maximum of $1,000 towards weatherization
improvements to an existing home.

frames or are non-functioning, and replacing non-insulated

Electric Heat/AC
Heating and cooling use the largest chunk of your home energy dollars. When you
choose electric, you know it’s clean, reliable and safe, but it can also be very
efficient. It’s tough to beat the efficiency of an electric heat pump that not only
cools your home in the summer, but also heats it in the winter.
HEAT PUMP REBATES

to 9.9 and $400 for HSPF rating of 10 and above with
non-electric back-up heat
• $600 - air source heat pump with HSPF rating of 8.5 to
9.9 and $800 for HSPF rating of 10 and above with all
electric back-up heat
• $800 – geothermal heat pump
A sub-meter can be installed on electric heat equipment to receive a reduced rate for the billing cycles of
October-April. The sub-meter is free for heat pumps two ton or larger and electric resistance heat over 5 kW,
or a $200 installation fee is charged. Members who connect central air conditioners or heat pumps to load
management qualify for a $6 credit per month for the billing cycles of May-September with a minimum total
electric usage of 300 kWh. (*Former Alliant Energy customers are not eligible for the heat rate or AC credit.)
Time of Use Rate
The Time of Use Rate (TOU) was developed for members who are seeking opportunities to have a direct impact
on their electric bill through their conservation efforts and daily usage habits. Contact the billing department to
sign up for a three-month risk-free trial period to get acclimated to the new rate structure without the concern
of paying a higher amount than the regular rate program. Use SmartHub to manage and review your usage.
• 15.35 cents per kWh from 7-10 a.m. and 4-9 p.m.
• 5.44 cents per kWh any other time of the day (compared to regular rate of
9.55 cents)
