Coupons To Help You Save Money On Energy Costs

https://www.saveonenergy.ca/Consumer/Programs/Instant-Rebates/Downloadable-COUPONS.aspx


These downloadable and printable coupons can help maximize one's spending power if taking advantage of the ODSP Low-cost Energy Conservation Benefit.

According the Ontario Power Authority, there's a couple of other ways to get these coupons:

1. Look for your energy-saving coupon booklet from your local electric utility arriving in the mail in March 2011. I checked the London Hydro Website, and it doesn't state whether the booklets will be mailed out or not.

2. Twice a year we feature the coupons in-store at participating retailers. These coupons are available for a limited time on the following dates:
saveONenergy SPRING EVENTOM:

While we're on the subject of energy conservation, and saving money on energy costs, we might as well talk about TOU Rates & Smart Meters

Getting Smart about Smart Meters Q&A Book

NEWS:

Seems Tim Hudak has something to say about Smart Meters when he was in the neighbourhood today.

“A Progressive Conservative government would unplug the mandatory smart meters and give families a choice that works for them,”says Tim.

Really?  And what would that be, Tim?  Why not flesh that statement out a bit? Hm?
