Today is your last chance to win a $50 Amazon gift card as part of our energy efficiency trivia contest. Today’s question is the fifth and last we’ll post this year. We appreciate everyone’s participation!
The full official rules are here, but here’s the short version:
•Each question will be posted here on our Stories blog at 8 a.m. on contest day. (We’ll promote them on social media beforehand — particularly on Twitter and Facebook — so be sure you’re following us.)
• You’ll have until 8 p.m. that same day to post your answer in the Comments section of the blog post. Answers posted on any other social media platform, or posted after 8 p.m. on contest day, will not be eligible to win.
•One correct response will be chosen at random, and the winner will receive a $50 Amazon gift card. Make sure to leave a valid email address as part of your comment, so we can reach you if you win — if we can’t reach you, we’ll have to choose another winner.
Also, we reserve the right to hide or delete comments not related to the contest. If you need help with a customer service issue, the best way to handle it is to call us at 1-800-DIAL-PPL (that’s 800-342-5775.)
Now that that’s out of the way, here’s the energy efficiency trivia question. Remember, answers go in the comments:
How much energy have PPL Electric Utilities customers saved over the past seven years by taking part in our energy efficiency programs?
over 310 million per year times 7 years gives a savings of over 2,170 million saved by those in your energy efficient program
over 3 billion kilowatt-hours per year
21 billion kilowatt-hours
2,867,000,000 kWh Saved Per Year x 7 years
2,867,000,000 kwh per year
20,069,000,000 kwh total over 7 years
2,867,000,000 kWh Saved Per Year = 20,069,000,000
over 310 million
by over 2 billion kilowatt-hours per year. This has helped you save almost $300 million per year by using less electricity
2,867,000,000 kWh Saved Per Year and Counting
Over the past seven and a half years, PPL’s Energy Efficiency programs have helped customers to reduced their electricity usage by over 2 billion kilowatt-hours per year. This has helped you save almost $300 million per year by using less electricity(based on a cost of 10 cents/kilowatt-hour)—and that is something to be proud of.
2,867,000,000 kWh saved per year
Over a seven year period this would be a savings of 20,069,000,000 kWh
The energy savings per year is 2,867,000,000 kWh
So in 7 years that equals 20,069,000,000 kWh
In 7.5 years the savings would equal 21,502,500,000 kWh
The energy efficiency program has helped PPL electric customers reduce their energy useage by over 2 billion kWh per year. More precisely…2,867,000,000 kWh per year times 7 years equals 20,069,000,000 kWh.
