Defend Against Future Utility Rate Increases and Outages
Reduce your Current Utility Bill
As the US population grows, its energy demand follows. More iPads, mobile devices, and in the future, electric cars. Yet the nation’s utility companies have made few changes to the grid’s 1920’s infrastructure to accommodate modern technology and growing demand. As a result, we are seeing more frequent outages, rolling blackouts, higher failure rates and maintenance and repair costs that are ultimately passed on to ratepayers. Solar energy allows us to be less dependent on the utility company by allowing us to produce a significant portion of the energy we use. With Kohler Home Generators, we don’t have to worry about outages either. Take control of rate increases, costs, and outages with Greenspring Energy.
Solar and energy efficiency can permanently and effectively reduce your utility rates and reduce your grid dependence.
Why continue to pay for utility power when you can own your own "personal power plant" that produces free, clean and reliable energy?
The chart below details your future spending for utilities with nothing tangible to show for it. Why not invest in solar and efficiency?

The Future of Utility Rates
Rates are expected to rise 4-6% for the next twenty years as three large trends impact overall pricing:
- Increased demand in the US and around the world for energy producing commodities
- Increased environmental regulations on coal fired power plants, resulting in costs being passed on to customers
- Transmission infrastructure needs to be upgraded, costing billions of dollars to utilities and costs need to be passed on to customers
