Save Yourself Time

Understand what goes into your electric bill each month and how it is calculated. This will take the guesswork out of future bills. Know that bills will fluctuate each month based on many factors around your lifestyle, however one of the largest factors is weather. Bills are typically highest in the cold winter and hot summer months. We have energy efficiency advice, products, and services to help.

GVEC strives to keep the power on at all times. However, given the volatility of weather and other issues beyond our control, outages may occur. When they do, it is important to know what you should do and how we respond to restore your power as quickly as possible. Here’s some information you should know.
