About us
Efficiency Works is a regional utility collaboration that provides guidance and resources to use energy effectively.
Powering a more sustainable future
Efficiency Works is a regional utility collaboration that provides guidance and resources to enable customers to use energy effectively, work toward a noncarbon energy future and build strong, resilient communities for customers served by Platte River Power Authority and its owner communities of Estes Park, Fort Collins, Longmont and Loveland.
Efficiency Works programs are fully funded through the electric rates charged by Platte River’s four owner communities. Customers of Estes Park Power and Communications, Fort Collins Utilities, Longmont Power and Communications and Loveland Water and Power help fund Efficiency Works programs.
While Efficiency Works is not funded by state or federal programs, programs are designed to support participants applying for state and federal incentives, when applicable, to further offset the cost of energy upgrades and maximize financial savings.
Since 2014, Efficiency Works has made positive impacts in the communities we serve:
