The Sleepy Eye Public Utilities Commission on Tuesday approved their conservation improvement program for 2002 which allows for some perks for PUC customers.
The PUC's program will start when their newsletter comes out later in January. The program consists of fluorescent bulb recycling, residential Energy Star system rebates, a commercial and industrial motor program, a renewable energy investment and a light bulb giveaway.
