What is load management?
Load management is a way of deferring some electrical usage (load) during periods of high use to times when there is less demand for electric energy. PCRPPD’s load management is limited to the customers’ voluntary choice of how much they can be managed during the week.
How will load management save money?
Over 80% of PCRPPD’s costs to purchase your electricity is based on use during “peak demand” periods. Load management is a practical and economical way to reduce this cost. PCRPPD currently saves thousands of dollars by controlling irrigation load during peak times of electric use and passes those savings on to those who participate.
For nearly 30 years many irrigation customers have saved thousands of dollars in power costs by diverting irrigation hours to “off-peak” times. The program participants receive a direct incentive towards their annual horsepower and kWh charges.

Load Management Text Messaging
PCRPPD offers, at no charge, text messages with general daily information regarding the status of possible management during the day.
Customers requesting participation in this program will sign a disclaimer prior to activation and submit their e-mail address and/or cell phone number. This service will be in addition to the toll-free number and website notification currently in use. Any customers who wish to receive emails or text messages must complete a TCPA (Telephone Consumer Protection Act) form, giving us written permission to contact them through automation.
How do I know if I’m being controlled?
Simply look at the front of the load management device. If a red is on, the well is being controlled. There may be other lights lit on the device; these indicate device power and communication.
