PUEBLO-The year got off to a strong start for Black Hills Energy,which launched a new demand-side management program to help customers improve their overall energy efficiency.The program was made possible thanks to funding approval from the Colorado Public Utilities Commission,which is enabling the utility to spend $6.5 million each year,over the next three years,on DSM.The program,which began Jan.1,increases Black Hills’current low-income DSM program investment by 70 percent and increases its energy-savings goals by 30 percent.The program will not increase customers’monthly bills.
