Light bulbs with the power of change.

Great River Energy and its 28 member cooperatives are dedicated to having each of their over 500,000 residential customers replace five incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs. This will eliminate 201,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions every year, which is the equivalent of removing 38,000 cars from the road for one year.

As the second largest electric utility in Minnesota, Great River Energy and its member co-ops are already achieving impressive results through efforts aimed at helping households and businesses conserve energy without sacrificing quality. In 2006, we spent nearly $18 million on a variety of conservation and demand response programs—saving approximately 636 million kilowatt-hours of lifetime savings and reducing summer peaks by more than 12 percent.
