We Power Your Life

Annie Terracciano headshotMost of us use electricity—directly or indirectly—around the clock. Since it is available with the simple flip of a switch, it is easy to take for granted.

The typical United States household uses more heating, air conditioning, appliances, and consumer electronics than ever before, according to the Energy Information Administration. The average home also contains 17 or more internet-connected devices.

Considering everything that is powered by electricity, it’s no wonder we occasionally might wince at our monthly bills. But keep in mind, it is no longer just “the light bill.” Electricity powers our quality of life. Your energy bill covers so much more than lighting. It powers the infrastructure of your home and virtually everything in it: appliances, water heaters, HVAC systems, smartphones, computers, TVs, Wi-Fi routers and so much more.

Taking into account all the ways we depend on electricity, it remains a great value.

The next time you are enjoying your favorite podcast, TV series, or movie, consider the value of electricity and how it enhances your quality of life.

We care about you, and the members we serve, and understand electricity is more than a commodity. It is a necessity. That’s why Northern Lights will continue working hard to power your life with clean electricity—safely, reliably, and affordably.
