Saving energy is one of the most effective ways to be a good steward of the environment. By using energy more efficiently at home, you can lower your energy bills and feel good about your decisions. Using less energy helps our planet stay clean and healthy.

You can save energy and help the environment with a simple twist of the wrist. Lighting, which accounts for 12 percent of the average home's electric bill, is one of the easiest and most effective places to start saving. Just one light-emitting diode (LED) light bulb saves an average of $80 or more in electricity costs over its lifetime.

From January 1 through December 31, Alliant Energy is helping Iowa residents make the simple switch to energy-efficient lighting by offering special pricing on ENERGY STAR® qualified LED bulb purchases of 12 or less.
