Customers in the Carolinas can beat the heat this summer with tips from the EnergyAdvisors, a new, free service that Progress Energy is making available through Twitter.
Followers of the new account will receive regular tweets throughout the summer that include practical ways they can save energy and save money on their energy bills. The program begins today and will run through Sept. 20. Twitter is a micro-blogging tool that allows users to send out short pieces of information to a group of followers. Each communication, called a tweet, contains 140 characters or less of text. Tweets will focus on low- and no-cost tips, as well as programs offered by Progress Energy, to help customers save energy and money.
In addition to a significant Internet presence and more traditional customer communications, Progress Energy uses Twitter to send out corporate announcements, storm restoration updates and other information to its account followers.
The new EnergyAdvisors Twitter account will be dedicated to providing energy-efficiency tips and information to followers over the summer.
