Energy for Palmdale’s Independent Choice (EPIC) celebrated Earth Day by connecting with the community at local events and sharing energy-saving tips for the warmer months ahead.
As part of its ongoing commitment to community engagement, EPIC participated in events hosted by Lockheed Martin and the Palmdale District 3 Neighborhood Watch group, where staff provided clean energy education and resources directly to residents. These efforts align with EPIC’s broader mission of promoting sustainability, ensuring local control and reinvesting in the community. Through programs like Power Choice CARE and Your Ride is EPIC, the agency continues to make affordable clean energy options accessible across the City.
With hotter days around the corner, EPIC is also offering practical strategies to help customers stay cool while reducing their electricity bills:
- Set air conditioning to 78°F when at home, and a few degrees higher when away. Use ceiling fans to help maintain comfort at higher thermostat settings.
- Take advantage of natural ventilation by opening windows during cooler morning and evening hours. Close blinds during peak heat to reduce indoor temperatures.
- Maintain your cooling systems by regularly cleaning air filters and scheduling professional maintenance.
- Maximize daylight and install energy-efficient LED bulbs to reduce indoor lighting costs.
These simple practices can reduce cooling expenses by 10–15% during the summer.
By responding directly to community needs and supporting Palmdale’s climate action goals, EPIC continues to demonstrate what makes a community choice aggregator truly effective. For more information about EPIC’s programs and energy-saving tips, visit PalmdaleEPICEnergy.com or call (661) 267-5419.
