Your test drive with Customer Lowered Electricity Price will demonstrate when to use, store, conserve, buy, and sell electricity to enable CLEP’s savings & income. Customers save money just by changing when they use the equipment they already have and can even earn net income if they use CLEP cashflows to fully-finance newer equipment. CLEP can double cashflows from energy efficiency and renewable energy — while lowering everyone’s electricity prices. CLEP is an Opt-In rate that complements your current rate.

Through a series of hands-on, interactive, educational and discussion modules,
you will learn how to:
We study the nitty gritty of improved appliance uses and choices, such as:
you will learn how to:
- Motivate customers to invest in zero or low-emissions generation, energy efficiency, and energy storage;
- Provide a lower cost, more resilient, reliable, and greener grid -- at the micro and macro level;
- Aggregate and orchestrate customer use of distributed energy resources to attain negative energy bills;
- Put a microgrid in your home or office; and
- Benefit all consumers, even non-CLEP customers.
We study the nitty gritty of improved appliance uses and choices, such as:
- Programming a dishwasher (DW) & water heater (WH) for smart time-of-use;
- Transitioning to heat-pump water heaters and ice-making air conditioners;
- Installing and programming an electric battery;
- Enhancing the value of your plug-in electric vehicle; and
- Making solar energy cheaper, more lucrative and available for all via CLEP for Community Solar (CS)
Because CLEP provides short payback periods for thermal and electric storage investments and makes many of them cost-effective for the first time, CLEP greatly improves electricity reliability in the face of Entergy New Orleans’ thousands of power outages a year.
Because CLEP flattens peak demand at negative costs to all ratepayers, CLEP completely shields users from extraordinarily high-priced electricity and plans to build, NOPS, a $200 million peaking plant.
Come find out about this revolution in electricity pricing!

A humorous, very provocative and clever, 40-second introduction to CLEP is found in "Stealing from the Rich to Give to the Poor" from the recent movie: Stan and Ollie
