>> “The Energy-Saving Tree program benefits our customers by helping them

>> Donna Cooper, Pepco region president. “The program also educates
>> customers on the appropriate placement of trees to promote ongoing
>> system reliability, improve aesthetics and energy conservation.” 
>> The Arbor Day Foundation calculates that the 1,350 trees will produce
>> nearly $294,720 in energy savings within 20 years.   
>> An online tool can help Pepco customers find the most strategic
>> location for planting and estimate the annual savings that will result
>> from the tree. 
>> The Energy-Saving Trees online tool was created by the Arbor Day
>> Foundation and the Davey Institute, a division of the Davey Tree
>> Expert Co., and uses peer-reviewed scientific research from the USDA
>> Forest Service’s i-Tree Software to calculate estimated benefits.
