_ Promoting Energy Efficiency – Locally and Globally

UI continues to be a leader in offering comprehensive programs that encourage energy efficiency. UI’s energy efficiency programs are designed to help customers reduce their energy use and, in turn, reduce harmful environmental pollutants. In 2008, this resulted in $82 million in lifetime net electric system benefits for UI customers. Individually, customers who practice energy efficiency see a reduction in their electric use and in their monthly electric bills.

_ Environmental Commitment

UIL holds a vision for a clean environment and healthy communities. We will strive to be responsible stewards of the environment and believe that exhibiting sustainable business and environmental practices is part of our role as a good neighbor. A Company-wide effort is already underway to investigate, develop and implement sustainable initiatives that drive forward this vision. This commitment goes hand-in-hand with the Company’s core commitments to deliver safe and reliable electricity, provide solutions for our customers, and create financial, social and environmental value for all stakeholders.
