Would you like to do your part to help secure America's energy independence? Would you like to take steps to reduce global climate change? You can by doing one simple thing.

Use Less Energy!
SMU encourages all customers to take energy conservation seriously. By saving energy in your home or business, you are not only saving money, you are reducing the amount of energy that SMU needs to generate or buy. That reduces SMU's long-term costs to provide a reliable electric supply, and since YOU are the owner of SMU, that helps each customer and the community!

Visit our Energy Conservation display at the SMU Customer Service Center to pick up information on how YOU can help.
