RMLD Launches Summer Electric Vehicle Pilot Rebate Program
RMLD is pleased to announce a summer electric vehicle (EV) pilot rebate program to promote the benefits of electric vehicles and provide incentives for EV adoption. The pilot will run from June 1, 2018 through October 31, 2018. Customers must take delivery of the vehicle during the pilot period in order to qualify.

The pilot program offers residential customers a $1,500 rebate for the lease or purchase of a new or used Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), and a $1,000 rebate for the lease or purchase of a new Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle Plus (PHEV+) with an on-board battery capacity greater than 10kWh.
RMLD’s rebate is in addition to existing federal and state incentives which further reduce the purchase price of an electric vehicle. Potential buyers should check the guidelines and restrictions of federal and state incentives before making a purchase. 

RMLD is also updating its existing residential Electric Vehicle Charging Station Program to rebate 100% of equipment costs up to $500 for a networked (or "smart") AC level 2 charging station.

RMLD Launches New Mobile-Friendly Website
RMLD's new mobile-friendly website, launched today, offers improved navigation and search functionality, and is intended to provide customers a more user-friendly online experience. RMLD’s web address remains www.rmld.com

RMLD’s website contains information on RMLD programs and events, energy efficiency tips, and allows customers to pay their electric bill, report an outage, sign up for service, and more. 

To further improve operating efficiency and customer communication, RMLD is implementing an Outage Management System (OMS) within the next few months. Once implemented, customers will be able to access an outage map through RMLD.com to get real time information and updates on area outages. A customer notification system that sends specific outage information to affected areas via multiple channels such as phone, text, and email is also being evaluated and is expected to be implemented within the next two years.
