Community For Home Savings for Business Savings for Home

Celebrate National Energy Awareness Month with TECO’s many efficiency programs

October brings cooler weather, pumpkins, Halloween…and something else that can bring value to your life all year round: National Energy Awareness Month. Introduced by President George H.W. Bush in 1991, the purpose of National Energy Awareness Month is to raise awareness among everyone about the importance of energy sustainability and protecting our world’s resources. This is a big deal for you, for Tampa Electric and for everyone in the communities we’re proud to serve.

At Tampa Electric, we’ve been doing our part to encourage sustainability for nearly 40 years. In that time, we’ve performed more than 465,000 energy audits that help customers like you use energy more wisely and become more energy-efficient. In addition to the energy audits, Tampa Electric offers many energy-efficiency programs. At the end of 2016, more than 764,000 customers have participated in these programs. Today, we offer 36 programs to help our residential and business customers reduce their overall energy usage and ultimately their energy costs.
