Under the partnership, new and existing residential Bullfrog Power customers in the GTA and select parts of Southern Ontario will receive $150 toward the purchase of energy efficient products and services sold and installed by EnWise Power Solutions (www.bullfrogpower.com/enwise). EnWise customers will receive $25 off their first Bullfrog Power bill when they bullfrogpower their homes with green electricity (www.enwisepower.com/bullfrog).

All of Bullfrog’s power comes from clean, renewable, EcoLogoM-certified sources like wind power and low-impact water power that displace polluting and carbon-intensive sources like coal. Thousands of Ontario homeowners and hundreds of businesses have made the decision to become bullfrogpowered and support the generation of clean, renewable power.
“Conservation and renewable energy are both essential to Ontario’s Integrated Power System Plan, now being reviewed by the Ontario Energy Board,” said Peter Love, Ontario’s Chief Energy Conservation Officer. “I commend Bullfrog and EnWise for teaming up during Ontario’s first Energy Conservation Week to support energy efficiency and the use of renewable power by homeowners.”
“This partnership makes it easier for homeowners to make the decision to improve the energy efficiency of their homes and support clean renewable power,” said Peter Hwang, CEO, EnWise Power Solutions. “Most homeowners want to do something to reduce their environmental footprint. Bullfrog and EnWise are making it easier to take tangible, lasting and meaningful action.”
“Bullfrog Power residential customers repeatedly ask us for tips about how to use less electricity in their homes,” said Tom Heintzman, President, Bullfrog Power. “We are happy to partner with EnWise to offer practical actions customers can take to further conserve energy. Reducing the average home electricity bill through improvements in energy efficiency will help people afford the additional cost of purchasing green power. It’s a win for conservation, a win for the consumer and a win for the environment.”
To mark Energy Conservation Week (May 25–31), EnWise Power Solutions and Bullfrog Power will distribute energy efficient light bulbs at Union Station during morning rush hour on Monday, May 26.
