Summerhill and SaskPower partnered with 4 different retailers in 34 stores and with 136 weekend events across Saskatchewan. 70 environmental ambassadors were hired, trained, and deployed to deliver the program and collected almost 24,000 incandescent light strings for recycling.

Program participants brought in their old incandescent light strings in exchange for discounts off ENERGY STAR® LED light strings.  The events also provided an opportunity to engage consumers one-on-one and raise awareness of energy conservation principles, behaviours, and actions.

Our utility client, SaskPower, attained a conservation demand management reduction of over 236,800 kWh per year and a decrease of 2.19 MW in electricity demand.

Both customer and retailer feedback was very positive with interest in additional programs addressing energy conservation efforts in Saskatchewan.
