Xcel Energy's Minnesota electric customers can now buy energy-efficient compact fluorescent light bulbs for as little as $1 per bulb.
The special prices are available at many stores, but quantities are limited. The low price is available only while supplies last.
Xcel Energy says customers who purchase and install this type of bulb can expect to see up to $50 in energy savings over the life of the bulb.
The low prices are being offered on bulbs that have earned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Department of Energy's "Energy Star" label.
