Green Bay, WI - The 19 community service groups selected to participate in the Wisconsin Public Service 'Service Club Energy Challenge' have completed their quest. Each group pledged to install ten WPS home energy weatherization kits, host an energy presenter at a club meeting and have ten club members reduce their home energy consumption by five percent during September, October and November.

The three month results showed a cumulative energy savings of about 11,343 kilowatt hours of electricity. (An average home uses about 600 kilowatt hours each month.)The clubs realized that along with the decrease in energy use, a substantial increase in energy awareness was realized as minor lifestyle changes by each individual resulted in cumulative energy saving totals.

WPS representatives will present a $1,000 check to each of the successful clubs. The money is earmarked for community service projects.
