BELCO said they are pleased to once again sponsor and participate in the annual Earth Hour.
On Saturday, March 30th, beginning at 4 pm, there will be an Earth Hour Expo in Dockyard with a number of events as well as information on energy efficiency that can help save money and empower Bermuda residents to live a more sustainable lifestyle.
BELCO President, Dennis Pimentel, said: “We’re excited to once again sponsor and play an important role in supporting Greenrock’s annual Earth Hour event.
“The theme for this year’s Earth Hour is energy efficiency, an initiative we have embraced at BELCO as a way to help our customers reduce their monthly electricity bill. BELCO staff will be at the Expo to provide information and tips on energy efficient technologies and how residents can reduce their energy usage.”
