LG&E and KU Electric Customers Receive CFL Coupons
05.19.2009


LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Electric customers of Louisville Gas and Electric Company (LG&E) and Kentucky Utilities Company (KU) are receiving a bonus in May. The company is mailing coupons toward the purchase of compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) at The Home Depot.

The coupon offering is part of the E.ON U.S. energy efficiency program that provides customers with information about how they can use energy more wisely. The coupons are for $4 off the purchase of a 4-pack of 14-watt spiral CFLs or $3 off a 2-pack of 14-watt CFL floodlamps. The coupons are for the 'N:vision' or 'Ecosmart' brands. The replacement of incandescent light bulbs with CFLs is just one aspect of the program. If customers replace five of their most used incandescent light bulbs, they could save an estimated $27 per year in their energy bills.

Many of the coupons will come to customers in the same envelope with their monthly bills. Others will be sent directly to customers by mail.

"We hope that by offering coupons to our customers we can get them started on their own at-home energy efficiency program," said John P. Malloy, Vice-President Energy Delivery — Retail. "We would like for our customers to think about how they can manage their own energy costs with the variety of efficiency programs we offer."

In addition to the light bulb replacement program, LG&E and KU customers can participate in energy audits, as well as the Demand Conservation Program which can be in the form of a traditional air conditioning switch or programmable thermostat option.
