Energizer News The power of customers: Refrigerator Roundup saves almost 7 million kilowatt hours The Power of One® truck is on the move in your neighborhood, getting old refrigerators and freezers out of homes and garages in an energy-saving effort that benefits the environment and rewards customers. In the past four years, some 4,450 Minnesota Power customers have recycled more than 8,800 of their energy-wasting refrigerators and freezers in the Great Refrigerator/Freezer Roundup—and received $50 for participating. Last year alone, the Roundup collected more than 1,400 refrigerators, 256 freezers and more than 100 window air conditioners.
What’s the Refrigerator/Freezer Roundup? It’s a program from Minnesota Power designed to reward you for saving energy and encourage proper recycling of old refrigerators and freezers that use lots of electricity. Our contractor will pick up your old, working refrigerator/freezer at no charge. Four to six weeks later you can expect your $50 reward. continued on Page 3 Published by MP Corporate Communications, Kelley Eldien, Editor | 30 W. Superior Street, Duluth, MN 55802 | mnpower.com

Your participation over four years translates to almost 7 million kilowatt hours saved, according to the Power of One® team. Think of that as about 7,500 tons of avoided carbon dioxide emissions or taking nearly 1,500 cars off the road. The energy savings is enough to power an estimated 588 homes for a year.
