Evansville, Ind. – Sixteen food pantries throughout Evansville, Chandler, Princeton, Petersburg, Mt. Vernon and New Harmony are receiving 4-packs of LED bulbs from Vectren’s energy efficiency program to distribute to patrons throughout the summer. Vectren is providing more than 50,000 bulbs to be given to those in the community who frequent the area’s various food pantries.
“Vectren is committed to assisting customers to conserve energy and save money,†said Brad Ellsworth, president of Vectren Energy Delivery-South. “By providing LED bulbs to the food pantries, we are helping low-income families take simple, effective steps to lowering their energy costs.â€
If all bulbs are installed replacing traditional 60 watt light bulbs assuming three hrs/day of use, nearly 232,000 kWhs of energy consumption will be saved annually – enough to power 2,780 homes for a month or 230 homes annually.
Vectren offers instant discounts on LED bulbs at area retailers such as Menards and Lowe’s. Visitwww.vectren.com/lighting for a list of all stores. Learn more about Vectren’s energy efficiency programs at www.vectren.com/saveenergy or call 1-866-240-8476.
