ADVISORY/April 22, 2007 Marks the 37th Anniversary of Earth Day.

JUNO BEACH, Fla. -- Earth Day is almost here and the call for a clean and greener future is being taken up across America and around the globe. FPL and its customers are proud to be at the forefront of that effort. Together we are meeting environmental challenges through model energy efficiency programs, the design of state of the art power plants that limit pollution, and an ever growing focus on wind, solar and other renewable energy sources. Energy efficiency is a win-win solution, it reduces energy consumption and it helps customers save money and play a role in protecting the environment.

"Gee whiz facts" that can add up to big savings

* FPL encourages customers to take advantage of a free Online Home Survey (www.fpl.com/OHES) that offers a personalized, in-depth analysis of a home's energy use. Users will receive a detailed report and specific ways they can save energy and money. FPL estimates that it has been able to avoid the need to build 11 power plants since 1982, thanks to its customers' conservation efforts.

* It's the simple things that add up. Did you know that when appliances are "off" they may still be consuming electricity because of stand-by power? This silent drain of standby power is the largest single category of electricity use in American homes today. In the average home, 40% of all electricity is consumed while home electronic products are turned off. Across the U.S., this equals the annual output of 17 power plants. (Source: www.energystar.com)

* Did you know that the average home spends about $1,900 on energy costs every year? Change to appliances that have earned the ENERGY STAR, and you can save $80 a year in energy costs, while helping preserve the environment. In fact, if just one in 10 homes used ENERGY STAR qualified appliances, the result would be like planting 1.7 million new acres of trees. (Source: www.energystar.com)

* Computer monitors account for a big part of a computer's energy use, so turning them off when they're not in use can lead to considerable savings. In addition, make sure your computer is set to go into low-power sleep mode when it's idle and turn it off when it's not in use for a long period of time. (Source: E Source Customer Direct)

* Next time you head out to buy a new TV, remember that the larger the TV the more energy it uses. In fact, the largest TVs can use more energy in a year than home appliances such as refrigerators, dishwashers and washing machines. ENERGY STAR is working on new criteria that will provide consumers with annual energy estimates tied to their TV purchases.

* If every one of FPL's customers replaced one 60 watt bulb with a compact fluorescent bulb, each individual would save $55 over the life of the bulb. Collectively, we'd save the amount of energy consumed each year by 20,000 homes.

* Shopping for a new refrigerator? Think the 'fridge with the lowest sales price is your best bet? Not necessarily. If you buy the lowest-priced refrigerator, you may end up spending more than if you buy a more expensive one. An appliance's energy consumption can affect your out-of-pocket costs. You may actually save money by buying the more expensive, more energy-efficient model. The Federal Trade Commission offers a wide range of business and consumer information online at www.ftc.gov, including tips on refrigerator purchases!

* Two thirds of all homes in Florida have leaks in their air flow systems. This is a waste of energy and can lead to high bills. FPL customers can request a duct test by calling FPL at 1-800-DIAL-FPL or via www.fpl.com/duct. If leaks are found, FPL will provide a list of qualified repair contractors as well as a rebate to help cover the cost of the repairs.
