Finding Ways to Save
Trying to make paychecks go further has been on everyone’s mind. Inflation has dropped, but the latest Consumer Price Index for the past 12 months is 2.9%, which means prices are still going up. Empire Electric Association experiences the same inflation pressure as its member-owners. Cost of the equipment and services we use to provide […]
