Xcel Energy has announced a new energy efficiency lighting program in its Texas service area communities that provides discounted LED bulbs to help residents save energy and money.
The utility is partnering with several regional Walmart stores to offer the high-efficiency LED bulb discounts on select models. The discounts will average $2 per bulb on standard bulbs and $4 on flood lights.
LED prices have dropped significantly in recent years and the added discount makes them more affordable.
“We’re excited to offer bulbs at a discounted rate to encourage customers to make the switch to higher efficiency lighting to begin saving energy and money,” said Kim Sherman, Xcel Energy senior product portfolio manager. “Each LED bulb will save about $5 per year when compared to an incandescent bulb. That equates to big savings when you consider how many bulbs you have in the home.”
LEDs last about 15 times longer than incandescent bulbs. Many more options, including warmer colors and dimmable versions, are available.
Discounts are available at the following Walmart stores for a limited time while supplies last:
- 3700 E. Interstate 40, Amarillo
- 5730 W. Amarillo Blvd., Amarillo
- 4215 Canyon Dr., Amarillo
- 4610 S. Coulter Street, Amarillo
