DP&L Business Rebates Help Tipp City Company to Upgrade Lighting

75 Businesses and Governments Apply to Save Money and Energy
DAYTON, Ohio--(Business Wire)--
Dayton Power and Light (DP&L) today awarded its first business rebate for energy
efficiency upgrades to a Tipp City, Ohio company.

Process Equipment Company (PECo) was awarded a $3,960 rebate for upgrading to
energy-efficient lighting. The new equipment will continue to save PECo $5,500 a
year in energy costs.

DP&L offers business and government customers two programs for energy efficiency
rebates on over 100 different energy-efficient products. Both programs allow
DP&L`s business customers to save on efficiency projects, which will help them
use less energy.

Rapid Rebates is a program for common efficiency upgrades such as lighting,
heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC), motors, drives and compressed
air, as well as additional technologies. Customized Rebates are available for
specialized equipment which falls outside of the Rapid Rebates program.

"We spent significant time listening to our customers as well as a number of
contractors and distributors in the area," said Scott Kelly, senior vice
president of Service Operations. "And so far, the initial response to the rebate
programs has been very positive."

After only seven weeks, DP&L has received 75 applications for rebates totaling
in excess of $500,000.

A complete list of rebates is available to businesses at
www.dpandl.com/bizrebates. To apply, there is an online, step-by-step process
that customers can follow.

The business and government programs help DP&L customers save money, are
environmentally smart and are important in helping the company meet future
energy needs. One of Ohio`s energy efficiency targets is to reduce electricity
consumption by 22 percent by the end of 2025.

Business and residential customers can keep up-to-date on new programs, events,
