Being good stewards of the environment is
everyone's responsibility and working together, we all can do our part.
What YOU Can Do
By practicing energy
conservation, you can help the environment, especially during the peak
electricity usage times of 3pm to 7pm. During these peak times,
electric companies have to run older generation units with fewer
pollution controls to create the
electricity to meet the higher demands.
Here are some ways to conserve
electricity:
-
replace you heating and
air-conditioning filters every 3 months and check them every month
-
install programmable
thermostats to better regulate heating and cooling when no one is in
the building and/or room
-
replace your incandescent
light bulbs with florescent and/or LED light bulbs

What LP&L Is Doing
LP&L is increasing the amount of
electricity we purchase for our customers from renewable generation
sources like wind. The electricity we
purchase for our customers comes from the nation's largest provider of
wind energy to retail customers. Our current wind energy
generation mix is at 6% and growing.
LP&L also understands that
just purchasing electricity from renewable sources is a good start, but
LP&L is doing more. LP&L is creating a certified Environmental
Management System that among other things identifies ways we are using
energy internally at LP&L and identifies ways we can use less.
Also, LP&L has had its own internal environmental
compliance/stewardship program since 1997.
