Dayton Power and Light Partners with The Foodbank for Energy Savings

DAYTON, Ohio–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Dayton Power and Light (DP&L), a subsidiary of The AES Corporation
(NYSE: AES), is partnering with The Foodbank and other area food
pantries to distribute 160,000 energy efficient light bulbs to help
families reduce their energy costs.

Families served will receive free ENERGY STAR certified Compact
Fluorescent Light (CFL) bulbs from DP&L. The free CFLs will help
families save on their energy costs, allowing them to make other
priority purchases.

CFLs use about 75 percent less energy than incandescent bulbs and can
save $30 or more in electricity costs over the lifetime of the bulb. The
average home has 40 light bulb sockets. When incandescent bulbs are
replaced with energy efficient CFLs, families may receive significant
energy savings.

“Each year, The Foodbank provides meals for those in the Miami Valley
who need assistance feeding their families. Again, this year, DP&L is
proud to partner with The Foodbank for the distribution of energy-saving
CFLs to deliver relief for our neighbors who may also be struggling with
their energy costs,” said DP&L President and CEO Tom Raga.

The CFL giveaway is another way DP&L contributes to the community
through local food pantries for residents of the Miami Valley. Each
year, our employees also donate to food drives and pantries throughout
our 24-county service area and volunteer their time to these
organizations. The Foodbank, located at 56 Armor Place in Dayton, will
be hosting the 10 a.m. kick-off CFL distribution today. During the
kickoff, DP&L volunteers will prepare boxes of CFLs for distribution.

DP&L will also be distributing CFLs through Shared Harvest Food Bank,
5901 Dixie Highway in Fairfield and at Second Harvest Food Bank, 701 E.
Columbia Avenue in Springfield.

“DP&L offers generous support in our community, especially to those
individuals most in need,” says Michelle Riley, CEO of The Foodbank.
“They are Hunger Heroes. The CFL giveaway is just one more example of
their local contributions. Household items are very popular among the
families served by our member agencies. To be able to provide these
necessities, especially energy-efficient light bulbs, makes a real
difference.”

The CFL distribution is part of DP&L’s ongoing energy
efficiency efforts
for customers, which also include rebates on new
heat pumps and air conditioners, discounts on energy-efficient lighting,
and rebates for business customers.
