Smart Power CFL coupon program kicks off Thursday, Jan. 15

Chugach Electric Association and Municipal Light & Power are joining forces to help residential customers save money. Customers of both utilities will be able to use $2 off coupons to buy compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFLs). As a "Buy Alaska" move the coupons will only be redeemable at the three Anchorage Brown's Electrical Supply locations. Coupons will arrive with customer's bills and they will also be available at the utility's customer service departments and at the Brown's locations.

Chugach & ML&P will introduce the five Satco CFLs that will be available for sale using the $2 off coupons at 11 a.m., Thursday, Jan. 15 at the Chugach Electric headquarters building located at 5601 Electron Drive.

Satco is a nationally known Energy Star manufacturer that works closely with Brown's on a variety of energy efficient lighting elements. Satco representatives will make a short presentation on types and color temperatures of CFLs at the kick-off. This will be a time to get answers from the experts and save on your electricity bills.

Chugach is the largest electric utility in Alaska, providing power for Alaskans throughout the Railbelt through retail, wholesale and economy energy sales. ML&P serves the downtown Anchorage commercial district and surrounding residential areas.
