GETTING STARTED
Energy transformation participation
The benefits you realize by participating in energy transformation ultimately boil down to three things:
- Your conscious decision to make even incremental improvements in energy usage
- The choices you make in technologies and perspectives to make them happen
- The convenience you experience as a result of your energy transformation actions

Energy Delivery
Self-generation and storage
Right now, energy delivery in America is predominantly a one-way street. Electricity originates at a power plant and travels in one direction to consumers.
Over time, that delivery will shift closer to a two-way street. This means some consumers will generate their own power — which they could use themselves, store for use at a later time and / or return to the grid.
Evolution to active grid
BI-DIRECTIONAL ENERGY eases dependence on America’s electric grid and helps Tipmont lower peak demand.

Electric vehicles
Depending on local gasoline and electric rates, operating an electric vehicle (EV) could be three to five times less expensive than operating a gasoline- or diesel-powered vehicle.
The charging needs of EVs can add significant load to Tipmont’s distribution grid. Our engineers closely monitor EV growth to ensure our system can adequately support charging loads.
Bi-directional energy
Bi-directional energy is reshaping traditional models of energy delivery. Consumers are able to participate through distributed energy resources (DERs) including solar panels and battery energy storage systems (BESS).
These DERs help enhance grid resiliency, reduce losses in transmission and distribution, improve energy efficiency and increase the integration of renewable energy sources into America’s electric grid.
Tipmont programs helped put co-op members Alex Pilotte and his wife, Pam, on a path toward sustainable energy use.
