When you flip a switch or reset a thermostat, you expect something
to happen. And it does. As a leading provider of energy and related
energy services, CPL
Retail Energy is responsible for making sure we have
these resources available for you – now and in the future.
In addition to seeking new sources and types of power, we also
help our customers and environmental partners find ways to conserve
energy. Through this online store you will find hundreds of products
from EFI to help you save energy - every day.
Where to start?
| 1.
Install low-mercury compact fluorescent light bulbs. Replacing
a 100 watt incandescent light bulb with a 23
watt compact fluorescent bulb will save 141 kWh of electricity
annually, and can reduce associated carbon dioxide emission
by 188 pounds (based on 5 hours per day use and 1.34 lbs CO2/kWh). |

| 2.
Replace your current showerhead with a real water-saving showerhead.
Commonly available 2.5 gpm "water-saving" showerheads
aren't really water-saving, since this flow-rate is probably
what you already have. Putting in a 1.75
gpm showerhead, however, will reduce your water use by 2,737
gallons a year (assuming a 10 minute daily shower). |

| 3.
When you turn off electronics, really turn them off. Many electronic
devices consume power all the time, such as monitors, printers,
DVD players, and other home office and home entertainment equipment.
A smart powerstrip
will insure that these devices are not only protected against
surges, but when the main item is turned off, power is also
cut to all the related items. |

Using more efficient products is one way
each of us can make a difference, and EFI and Direct Energy make
it easy.
