DP&L Lighting Discounts Now Available at 50 Retailers in the Miami Valley

More Programs to Help Customers Save Money and Energy Coming Later This Year
DAYTON, Ohio--(Business Wire)--
Discounted compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) are now offered in local
Lowe`s, Sam`s Club, Home Depot, Walmart and Dollar Tree stores thanks to the
first of several energy efficiency programs Dayton Power & Light, Inc. (DP&L)
will introduce this year.

The discounts average $1.30 off the retail price and range from $0.75 to $2.50
per bulb, depending on the type of CFL. No coupon or rebate form is required.

"Replacing incandescent bulbs with CFLs offers customers one of the simplest and
most cost effective ways to save money and energy," said Scott Kelly, senior
vice president of Service Operations for DP&L. Compact fluorescent lights
generally save $30 over the life of the bulb.

For example, if every household in Ohio replaced one incandescent bulb with a
CFL, the annual energy cost savings would be $31 million. That`s because CFLs
use 75% less energy, produce significantly less heat and last 10 times longer.

A complete list of participating retailers is available by calling a toll-free
hotline at 1-866-668-9581 or by visiting www.dpandl.com/save. Both provide
general information about CFLs, how to choose the right bulb and proper CFL
disposal.

"This lighting program will play a critical role in helping us meet Ohio`s
energy efficiency goals," said Kelly. "Programs like this are good for our
customers, are important in helping us meet future energy needs and are
environmentally smart."

One of the state`s energy efficiency targets is to reduce electricity
consumption by 22 percent by the end of 2025.
