(Office of the Governor) — The Department of Public Works-Energy Division Office will host a 2021 Saipan Energy Educational Awareness and Community Outreach Program Campaign Drive-Thru Distribution Event to promote energy conservation and implementation of efficiency measures that reduce energy use and also save money by distributing energy-efficient LED light bulbs or portable gas stoves to residential households.
The Division of Energy will also educate residential consumers and the community about the importance of energy efficiency and conservation efforts in the CNMI and its impact to the protection and preservation of available precious natural resources in the environment.
To avail themselves of the LED light bulbs or portable gas stove, residential homeowners must present a copy of a valid government issued identification card and a copy of a most recent CUC utility billing with same name on ID and CUC account. Residents that are tenants of apartments, rental properties, etc., and not named as the CUC account holder, must provide a copy of a lease or rental agreement. If the residential homeowner with the CUC account holder’s name is unable to make it, please provide a letter of authorization along with a copy of ID matching CUC account name. Businesses, rental property owners and/or landlords are not eligible to receive the LED light bulbs or portable gas stoves.
During the drive-thru event, residential households will have a choice of receiving only one of the items below: one each bag of 10 LED light bulbs; or one each portable gas stove.
With only a limited number of supplies available for this event, LED light bulbs and portable gas stoves will be available for distribution on a first-come, first-served basis throughout the specified time only, or while supplies last.
