BILOXI -- Shoppers who are at Edgewater Mall buying tax-free back-to-school clothes on Saturday also can pick up ideas for saving money on electricity at the Energy Efficiency Fair.
Set up in front of Dillard?s, the fair is from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and hosted by Mississippi Power. It will feature tips for saving energy and money through home improvement, lighting, products and services.
The fair also will have giveaways for children, who can generate their own energy on Mississippi Power?s Green Machine bicycle.
?We?re looking for a fun, interactive day at Edgewater Mall,? said Frank Magee, Mississippi Power senior marketing analyst for energy efficiency.
Also participating is Coast Electric Power Association, which will provide information about programs available to their customers.
The fair is one of 100 events nationwide selected by Energy Star for the Energy Stars Across America campaign that teaches the public to be more energy-efficient and protect the climate. Representatives from Sears will discuss the latest Energy Star appliances and new technologies such as heat pump water heaters.
Pearl River Valley Opportunity will share information about federal energy programs that are available to consumers, including the Federal Weatherization Assistance Program geared toward the elderly, disabled and lower income families with children. The goal of the program is to assist those who qualify to make their homes more energy efficient by making minor energy improvements.
?We typically experience our highest demand for energy in the summer months,? Magee said, ?and this year is no different. So it?s important to ready yourself with energy-efficiency knowledge so you can keep your energy consumption down.?
