As an electric cooperative, South Alabama Electric is always looking for ways to better serve its members. To help with this, SAEC members can expect to receive an email survey from PowerSouth Energy Cooperative in the coming months.
PowerSouth, SAEC’s wholesale energy provider, is facilitating the 2023 Residential End-Use Survey to better gauge your energy needs. This information will be used to forecast how much energy will need to be generated and also help in other areas, like planning substations.
“This information is critical,” PowerSouth Member Services Coordinator Mike Majors says. “It serves as the basis for generation, transmission, substation planning, the financial forecast and various other member services programs.”
SAEC encourages all members to participate in this survey. Please remember that your feedback is valuable.
“At South Alabama Electric our goal is to serve you with reliable electricity, and to do this we need to look to the future,” says SAEC General Manager David Bailey. “We are thankful to PowerSouth for facilitating this survey, and we encourage all of our members to participate. This feedback will help us provide you with reliable electricity for years.”
The 2023 Residential End-Use Survey will gather information in the following categories:
- Housing characteristics
- Space heating and cooling
- Water heating
- Quantity and age of appliances
- Energy sources
- Energy efficiency practices
- Customer demographics
Sample Questions May Include:
- How old is your home?
- How old is your primary air-conditioning system?
- What type of residence do you live in?
