VIRGINIA POWER CONSERVATION PLAN WINS APPROVAL

A Virginia Power pilot program to offer incentives to customers who conserve electricity was approved by the State Corporation Commission. As many as 1,000 new homes will be permitted during the next three years under the Energy Saver Home Plus program. Qualifying homeowners will get a $10-a-month rebate from Virginia Power through deductions in electric bills by making energy-saving improvements like high-efficiency heat pumps. by CNB
