EVERETT, Wash. —

The Snohomish County Public Utilities District says energy conservation saved its ratepayers $5.8 million last year.

The Herald of Everett reports that some of the biggest energy savers were private businesses. Nearly 700 around the county participated in conservation programs last year, saving enough energy to power 6,000 homes.

The utility has been helping businesses by offering advice from engineers for making buildings more efficient and rebates for swapping out equipment and fixtures.

The PUD serves 30,000 commercial and industrial businesses and 290,000 residential customers in Snohomish County and on Camano Island.
