Dear valued member,
Greetings from your team at LPEA! April brought a spike in meter tampering cases; a dangerous crime that costs us all money. Read on to learn how you can help LPEA prevent, detect, and report this crime.
In better news, this month's edition also provides links to our recent webinar on the latest electric tech from heat pumps to e-bikes, a deep dive into LPEA's substations, and a link to our first-ever digital annual report for 2020.
Lastly, there are only a few days left to take advantage of our spring promotion! Go paperless with LPEA before the end of April and you could win some great prizes (and de-clutter your life while you're at it). SIGN UP!
Warm regards,
Hillary Knox, VP of Member Experience

Beyond the fence: What's really going on inside a substation? |
From the outside, it's a fenced-off heap of metal and gravel. But inside, there's more than meets the eye, including the world’s largest machine, which contains some of the earth's most advanced technology. |

As Smokey Bear says, only you can prevent forest fires! Since 2013, the Wildfire Adapted Partnership (WAP) and LPEA have collaborated to make funding possible for their Chipper Rental Rebate Program. WAP reimburses homeowners 50% of their chipper use expenses, up to $250 per household. HOAs or communities that rent chippers or hire contractors to provide chipping services may also qualify for a 50% rebate of up to $750. The program encourages residents to proactively treat their properties for wildfire risk and reduce the buildup of hazardous fuels. MORE INFORMATION.
