Everywhere across the United States, households with the lowest incomes have the highest electricity bills, often because of old and inefficient housing and appliances. SOUL™ (Save On Utilities Long term) reduces utility bills through energy efficiency, using a “Pay As You Save (PAYS®)” approach to pay for efficiency improvements with energy savings. Groundswell works with our partners at EEtility, a woman-owned B-Corp, to serve municipal and rural utilities and their member-customers. SOUL works for renters and homeowners to deliver energy savings to participating households.

Hogansville SOUL ™ Program
Hogansville SOUL Hogansville, GA
The City of Hogansville and Groundswell are collaborating to determine how the Hogansville SOUL Program can best serve low- and moderate-income residents with higher-than-average utility bills. SOUL, or Save On Utilities Long term, focuses on reducing energy bills for households with higher-than-average utility bills because of older, less efficient housing which uses more energy. -
LaGrange SOUL™ Program
LaGrange SOUL LaGrange, GA
Groundswell and the City of LaGrange have partnered to create the LaGrange SOUL Program. This SOUL, or Save On Utilities Long term, program is a pilot program in the City of LaGrange which serves low- and moderate-income residents who have paid more than 20% higher than LaGrange’s average utility bills due to energy inefficiency. While the City of LaGrange has low utility costs, some residents have much higher-than-average utility bills because their homes are older, less efficient, and use more energy.
