Did you know that trees can save you energy and money?

Properly planted around your home, shade trees can lower your cooling costs in summer. Trees that shade the south or west sides of the building can reduce air conditioning cost in summer. When the leaves fall in the winter, the bare trees allow warm sunlight to reach your home.

We want to help more people in our community enjoy the benefits of trees. For a limited time, we are offering a cash rebate equal to 50% of the purchase price (up to $60 per tree) when you buy and plant deciduous trees.

Eligibility:

The Tree Power Incentive Program is available to residential customers with a valid Two Rivers Water & Light electric account.

The purchase of each properly planted qualifying tree planted is eligible for 50% of the purchase price. Limit three tree incentives per household with a maximum of $60 per tree.

Shade trees must meet the following criteria:

Must be deciduous, Evergreens are not eligible

Must be nursery grade stock

Must have potential to attain a height of at least 25 feet when mature
