NEWARK--To encourage its customers to take concrete steps to conserve energy and fight climate change, PSE&G announced today that it will begin distributing 100,000 energy efficient
light bulbs throughout its service territory.
Under the utility's "Switch and Save" campaign unveiled during a news conference in Newark, customers who visit PSE&G's 16 Customer Service Centers to meet with a service representative will be given an ENERGY STAR certified compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL). The bulbs will also be distributed by PSE&G's appliance service technicians when they make a service call, as well as electric delivery employees who interact with customers on a daily basis.
Izzo explained that, with normal use, the 100,000 bulbs from PSE&G will result in a reduction of 40,000 tons of carbon dioxide during the life of the bulbs, which is equal to taking 9,000 cars off the road for one year.
In addition to the CFL bulb, customers will receive an information sheet, in both English and Spanish, that highlights the company's environmental commitment, explains that CFLs use 75 percent less energy than standard lighting, last up to 10 times longer than standard bulbs, and
save an average of $30 or more in energy costs during the life of the bulb. The flyer also directs customers to information on the proper way to dispose of old or broken bulbs.
