Energy efficiency work pays off for Plum Creek

Plum Creek Timber Co. received a check for $386,635 from Flathead Electric Cooperative on Wednesday for recent energy efficiency investments at the Columbia Falls sawmill.

The transaction was made possible through an energy efficiency incentive program sponsored by the Bonneville Power Administration that provides rebates to encourage industrial customers to install energy-saving technology.

Over the last year, Plum Creek completed a compressed air upgrade at the sawmill that will save an estimated 1.7 million kilowatt-hours per year.
