Most electric utilities are. I know PGE and Clark PU both charge customers a little extra to fund energy saving programs such as discounts on updating appliances, installing insulation, updating windows, or getting an energy audit. I received a "free" energy audit soon after moving into my home and requesting one online.

Electricity use per capita has been in slight decline over the years despite an increasing reliance on electricity in technology.

If your utility does nothing to promote conservation, I would say it is among the minority of providers.
