BACKGROUND: CFL light bulbs use about 75 percent less energy and last up to 10 times longer. Part of a suite of programs to help customers save money and energy, discounted PECO CFL bulbs hit the shelves in October 2009 and are now available at more than 700 local stores. So far, about 2 million bulbs have been sold. The suite of energy saving programs is part of the company's support of Pennsylvania's energy efficiency and conservation plan requiring state electric utilities to reduce energy use by 1 percent by May 31, 2011 and 3 percent by May 31, 2013, and reduce energy demand during the 100 highest demand hours of the year by 4.5 percent by May 31, 2013. The programs cost residential customers about $1.50 additional on their monthly energy bills. To learn more or locate a store carrying PECO discounted CFL bulbs visit www.peco.com/SAVE.
