20 years of energy savings

RPU reached a major milestone in 2025: 20 consecutive years of meeting our energy conservation goal. This success is powered by customers across Rochester making everyday choices to save energy, and RPU’s efficiency programs designed to make those savings easier and more affordable.

Over two decades, the cumulative energy savings are nearing the equivalent of two Westside Energy Station power plants. Each year, the savings are comparable to the energy use of nearly 1,600 homes, meaning less energy wasted, lower costs over time, and a stronger, more efficient local energy system.
