Southern California Edison (SCE) wants to warn its customers about the scary "energy vampires" that lurk throughout their homes and businesses.
Common household devices and appliances still draw electricity even when they are off or in "sleep" mode. And that additional energy use can result in higher electricity bills.
SCE reported that consumer electronics account for about 15 percent of all residential electricity consumption. Electric devices - such as televisions, stereos, phone chargers, DVD players, computers, and microwave ovens - can be energy guzzlers. Simply plugging the devices into a power strip and turning it off (or unplugging the appliances completely) can save up to 5 percent on the average bill.
"We're encouraging our customers to become the ultimate "energy vampire" slayers, and by doing so, they'll save energy, money and the environment," said Gene Rodrigues, SCE's director of energy efficiency. "There are so many easy, quick ways to become a smarter electronics consumer."
SCE encourages its customers to look for the Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star symbol when shopping for electronics and appliances. The blue star signifies that the model is among the most energy-efficient of its kind, SCE stated.
An Edison International company, Southern California Edison is one of the nation's largest electric utilities, serving a population of nearly 14 million via 4.9 million customer accounts in a 50,000-square-mile service area within Central, Coastal and Southern California.

ROSEMEAD, Calif., Oct 26, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Southern California Edison (SCE) wants to warn its customers about the scary "energy vampires" that lurk throughout their homes and businesses. Common household devices and appliances still draw electricity even when they are off or in "sleep" mode. And that additional energy use can result in higher electricity bills.
Consumer electronics account for about 15 percent of all residential electricity consumption. Electric devices -- such as televisions, stereos, phone chargers, DVD players, computers, and microwave ovens -- can be energy guzzlers. Simply plugging the devices into a power strip and turning it off (or unplugging the appliances completely) can save up to 5 percent on the average bill.
"We're encouraging our customers to become the ultimate "energy vampire" slayers, and by doing so, they'll save energy, money and the environment," said Gene Rodrigues, SCE's director of energy efficiency. "There are so many easy, quick ways to become a smarter electronics consumer."
SCE encourages its customers to look for the Environmental Protection Agency's ENERGY STAR symbol when shopping for electronics and appliances. The iconic blue star signifies that the model is among the most energy-efficient of its kind. ENERGY STAR-labeled products usually are competitive in terms of price and performance compared to less efficient models.
Some other facts to consider:
-- ENERGY STAR-qualified TVs and set boxes use up to 30 percent less energy than comparable electronics that do not carry the energy-efficient label; home-entertainment equipment such as DVD players use up to 37 percent less. If all TVs sold in the United States met ENERGY STAR requirements, the savings in energy costs would grow to about $1 billion annually, and greenhouse gas emissions would be reduced by the equivalent of about 1 million cars.
-- A computer monitor with the ENERGY STAR symbol uses about 22 percent less electricity; a PC up to 33 percent less. If each computer and monitor in homes across the nation were to go into energy-saving "sleep" mode when not in use, more than $1 billion in annual energy costs would be saved.
-- Telephones with the ENERGY STAR label use up to 58 percent less energy.
-- As many as 2.4 billion external power adapters are in use in the United States -- that's about eight for every person. These external power supplies contribute to about 12 percent of the national electric bill. Look for ENERGY STAR-qualified external power supplies, and use power strips as centralized turn-off points once finished with use of the equipment.

ROSEMEAD, Calif., Oct 20, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
The roof of a 458,000-square-foot industrial building in Chino, Calif. is now providing as much as one million watts of solar power to Southern California's Inland Empire. This is the second installation in Southern California Edison's (SCE's) plan to place advanced solar panels on hundreds of otherwise unused commercial rooftops across Southern California. The Chino site is owned by the Multi-Employer Property Trust (MEPT) whose exclusive investment advisor is Kennedy Associates.
"The solar rooftop project is part of Southern California Edison's 25-year commitment to developing cleaner renewable and alternative energy sources for our customers," said SCE President John R. Fielder. "In addition to generating more clean power, this project will strengthen local grid reliability and produce hundreds of new green jobs to support Southern California's economic recovery."
During the next five years, SCE will install, own and operate 250 megawatts of solar generating capacity. The utility also will conduct competitive solicitations offering long-term power contracts to independent solar power providers who will install an additional 250 megawatts, bringing to 500 megawatts the total generating capacity of the project -- the largest photovoltaic program ever undertaken.
"Promoting the use and generation of renewable energy is important to both MEPT and Kennedy Associates. Leasing unused roof space to SCE to generate renewable energy, while also creating 'green collar' union jobs, reinforces our commitment to responsible property investing," said Preston Sargent, executive vice president and portfolio manager for MEPT.
Project Benefits
-- New generation sources to areas where customer demand is rising.
-- Renewable generation that can be connected quickly to neighborhood circuits while major new renewable energy transmission lines are being built such as SCE's 4,500 megawatt Tehachapi Renewable Transmission Project.
-- The output of solar panels generally matches peak customer demand -- lower in the morning and evening, higher in the afternoon.
-- The commercial rooftop solar project will allow SCE grid engineers to study the electrical effects of a high penetration of photovoltaics on distribution circuits. The information gained will be shared with the power industry.
-- SCE anticipates its solar power project will create as many as 800 new green jobs in Southern California in the solar industry. The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, one of SCE's project partners, is supporting the project through the expansion of its solar installation apprentice training program.
