TXU Energy Encourages Conservation with MyEnergy Makeover Sweepstakes
Understanding how youre using electricity at home can be easy and can
save you money. It can also mean chances to win cash for electricity
bills and new energy-efficient appliances and a shot at a home energy
makeover, thanks to
Energy. Now through Sept. 4, the companys new
Makeover Sweepstakes is offering daily entries to people across
Texas and to its customers who use the
Energy MyEnergy DashboardSM, the free energy savings
solution provided automatically to them online via
Energy MyAccount.
Through the end of the promotion, TXU Energy is providing its dashboard
users and other
electricity customers daily chances to win $150 and weekly chances
to win $1,000 for ENERGY STAR® appliances. And the grand
prize is up to $8,000 for a home energy makeover. Each daily entry
counts as a chance toward winning the daily and weekly prizes as well as
the grand prize, which will be announced in the fall.
Since having consumption details in advance can inspire consumers to use
less electricity, tools like the TXU Energy MyEnergy Dashboard can help
customers reduce their electricity bills. All TXU Energy customers can
access the tool online through the
place they can check and pay their bills, see their plan details and
more. The dashboard shows them their whole homes electricity usage and
costs with local weather data and personalized charts and graphs that
make it easy to understand their energy habits and how those habits
relate to their monthly consumption and costs.
The TXU Energy sweepstakes is open to Texas residents who are 18 or
older. A multiple choice question will be posted each day on txu.com/myenergymakeover,
and participants can answer it by checking their dashboard. The
sweepstakes also offers alternative entry methods for Texans served by
other providers. Alternative entry methods, full sweepstakes rules and
details are available on the
home page. No purchase is necessary to enter or win.
Thanks to the broad
of smart meters across Texas, more than 1.2 million of the companys
customers can use the dashboard to see how much electricity theyre
using and what its costing them, down to the hour. And, whether they
have smart meters or not, TXU Energy customers can enter the sweepstakes
and access the dashboard through any Web-enabled PC or tablet device,
and key features are also available through the free
Energy iPhone® and AndroidTM apps.
When you see your electricity usage through the TXU Energy MyEnergy
Dashboard, said Jennifer Pulliam, director of innovation, TXU Energy,
you understand how the weather and your habits at home are affecting
your consumption and what that costs you. And, since you can access it
through the devices you already use day to day, you can experience that
on your terms. Our new sweepstakes is our way of rewarding our customers
for taking an interest in energy efficiency and simply clicking a link
thats always there for them, regardless. While you cant control the
weather, you can control your consumption, and thats just what the
dashboard helps you understand.
Thanks to the energy efficiency gains the dashboard offers, Texas
electricity customers can also leverage the tool to compete in
promotions like the
Energy Saver. Sponsored by Grid21, the promotions are a nationwide
initiative to increase energy awareness and encourage smarter, more
efficient usage by Americans. This year, the promotions prizes include
gift checks and household appliances with a combined total value of more
than $55,000.
About the TXU Energy MyEnergy Dashboard
The TXU Energy MyEnergy Dashboard is one of a number of energy savings
solutions the company provides to encourage energy efficiency. It helps
customers understand their electricity consumption and costs by
providing a forecast of their usage and costs at any point of a billing
cycle, with graphs that show how the outdoor temperature relates to the
whole homes electricity usage and cost by month, day and even hour if
they have a smart meter. It compares the homes electricity usage to
similar homes in the same ZIP code and includes a pie chart that breaks
down usage between cooling, appliances, electronics and more. Its
available through any Web-enabled PC or tablet device, and key features
are also available through the free TXU Energy
iPhone
and AndroidTM apps.
In addition to the companys
savings solutions, like the dashboard, TXU Energy also offers tips
on energy efficiency at txu.com/energytips.
