December 2003
The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) in September joined a partnership with DOE and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the national "Change a Light, Change the World" lighting campaign. The campaign offers residents savings on the purchase of select ENERGY STAR lighting products through December 31. The program is being developed by the BPU's Office of Clean Energy as part of a major campaign to educate customers on ways to save energy and money on their energy bills.
The New Jersey Clean Energy Program and Governor McGreevey support retailers statewide to help New Jersey residents save energy and money and reduce the impact of recent electric utility rate increases. Residents will benefit from discounted pricing on select ENERGY STAR compact fluorescent light bulbs and lighting fixtures.
"The 'Change a Light, Change the World' campaign is an important program that puts the power of controlling personal energy costs and usage in the hands of the consumer," said Jeanne M. Fox, BPU president.
Campaign discounts are offered at more than 800 stores in New Jersey, including Home Depot, Lowe's, Shop Rite, Costco, BJ's, Sam's Club, 84 Lumber, Wal-Mart, Walgreen's, Eckerd, Rite Aid, and at major supermarket chains, including small and midsize stores that sell electrical appliances and lamps.
