GLASGOW, KY – In part 2 of this 3 part series on how to cut costs, WCLU takes an extended look at power conservation in the home and workplace. After speaking with Marketing & Promotions Director for the Glasgow Electric Plant Board, Aaron Russell, earlier this week, additional information may be lesser known. The conversation included discussions on which devices turning on or off or even unplugging will actually help you see a difference in your electric bill; and, ways you can already know what you’ll pay, every single month. With the rising cost of just about everything else, the Glasgow EPB still touts some of the lowest electric rates in the country.
Consumers may find it interesting as to how much power one electronic device uses versus another. Or, do I need to unplug the electronics for it to truly not be in use and drawing power? Russell covers all of that in this brief audio clip:

The Glasgow EPB also offers pre-paid options, where consumers can purchase a specific amount of electrical usage, and add to it later as more funds become available.
WCLU News thanks Aaron Russell and the Glasgow EPB for taking the time to take part in this news series. In Part 3, Friday, we’ll share information on how to combat rising insurance costs. Homeowners and businesses alike could be missing out on savings.
