Incentives

Oakdale Electric Cooperative offers incentives, also known as rebates, for residential and business/commercial members. From LED lighting to an upgraded HVAC system, members can save with energy-efficient items that will continue to yield electricity savings for years to come.

Just because you find a sale on a refrigerator or clothes washer does not mean it (or other items) will qualify for the appliance incentive. Prior to purchasing, review the incentive criteria for the item(s) listed below by clicking on the appropriate incentive form.
