Energy and Cost-Saving Tips Site Will Aid Washington Residents and Small Business

OLYMPIA - Governor Chris Gregoire today introduced a one-stop web portal that offers information and resources related to conservation opportunities and natural gas and heating oil efficiency.

�This website will help Washington families save money,� said Gov. Gregoire. �With an average energy bill of $1000 per year, Washington residents and small businesses will have somewhere to turn to help them find relief.�

From 2000 to 2005, the price of natural gas for residential use in Washington increased 68 percent, while fuel oil went up 50 percent and the cost of electricity rose 28 percent.

The new site, www.energytips.wa.gov, was developed by the Washington State University Extension Energy Program and the Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development.
