As there are more and more uses for electricity, everyone needs to learn
to use it efficiently. LP&L's Energy Efficiency Program hopes to
show you how you can use electricity efficiently.
Most people rely on electricity to be there when they need it.  Using it
efficiently, doesn't affect it being there, but it does affect being
"productive without waste." As you learn more, LP&L hopes you'll
learn
how you can use electricity efficiently, to produce everyone's desired
effects, lessoning pollution and lessoning their electric bill.
The greatest amount of pollution from electric plants is created when
 electricity use climbs in the Summer between the hours of 3pm to 7pm.
During that time electric companies have to run older, less efficient and
more polluting equipment to meet the highest demands for electricity.
So to be efficient, lesson the amount of electricity you use between 3pm
and 7pm in the Summer.
To encourage the efficient use of electricity, most electric companies
have higher electric rates in the Summer. So to be efficient with
your money and have lower electric bills try using our tips on the
