"Good morning Steve,
We are almost 100% back up and running! We have read through the report provided by you and your students and I’ve began looking into your recommendations.
After talking with a business energy advisor at DEP, it looks like we will be able to opt-out of both of those riders..."

"Good morning Steve,
We are almost 100% back up and running! We have read through the report provided by you and your students and I’ve began looking into your recommendations.
After talking with a business energy advisor at DEP, it looks like we will be able to opt-out of both of those riders. DEP estimates that by opting out of the EE rider that we will save about $11,600/year.
We truly appreciate you all for taking the time to gather data and create this report for us. It has definitely been beneficial."

I am personally jealous that we did not have such a thing back in my day. "
