Energy coupons a hit with Ontarians

TORONTO ― More than two million consumers in Ontario availed themselves of energy-savings coupons, the CBC reports. The numbers come from the province’s Independent Electricity System Operator, which funds the saveONenergy program. Available online and in certain hardware stores, the coupons offered savings of up to $30 on high-efficiency appliances. “They’re very popular,” Brad Swanson, owner of a Kitchener Home Hardware store, told the CBC. “The most popular ones now-a-days are for the LED light bulbs. We sell tens-of-thousands of them.”
