The Public Service Commission of the District of Columbia (DCPSC) has launched its annual Summer Ready DC campaign.
From July 2-21, the DCPSC will host six Summer Ready DC giveaway events at easily accessible D.C. Public Library locations. District residents can simply register and pick up a free energy efficiency item at one of these events while supplies last.
Information and additional resources will also be available to help consumers manage their utility bills.
“The commission recognizes the pressing concern of high utility costs for District residents, and weatherizing your home is crucial in managing increasing energy costs,” said DCPSC Chairman Emile Thompson. “The Summer Ready DC campaign will not only equip D.C. residents with tools and resources to enhance energy efficiency but also aid in mitigating the impact of extreme heat this summer to help reduce monthly energy bills.”
During the campaign, which kicks off Tuesday, residents can:
- Register to pick up a free energy efficiency item during a scheduled event at selected D.C. Public Library locations.
- Weatherize and make their home more energy efficient by using the Summer Ready DC home and storm checklists.
- Receive information on utility assistance programs to reduce their utility bills.
- Spread the word by sharing an informational program flyer with other District residents.
