Why Energy Efficiency?

• Help customers manage costs in an environment of
  higher energy prices
• Reduce demand on constrained natural gas supplies
  
• Protect the air the environment of our
  communities - reduce CO2 emissions when burning
  less natural gas or burning natural gas instead
  of coal and oil
• Introduce efficient gas technology to market
• Provide exceptional customer service
