On Thursday, 10 February, Bernd Wellmann from Buseck received a voucher for an energy-saving refrigerator. Bernd Wellmann from Buseck. He had previously successfully searched for a hidden prize voucher on www.energiessen.de, the municipal utility's energy services portal, printed it out and handed it in to the SWG energy advice centre. In the subsequent prize draw among all participants, the decisive bit of luck was added. The winner was congratulated by Michael Rösner, Head of Private and Commercial Customer Sales at SWG, in the temporary premises of the Stadtwerke energy consultancy above the Engel pharmacy at Marktplatz 8, where the SWG energy consultants can be found until the end of the renovation work to extend the infoCentre on Giessen's Marktplatz. Michael Rösner is certain that the new refrigerator will serve the winner well: "After all, refrigerators are in use on average for around 15 years these days, and freezers for around 17 years. So it's often worth replacing them with one of the now very energy-efficient new appliances". If in doubt, the free SWG energy advice service can also help, which customers of the municipal utilities can register for by calling 0641/708-1177. Further energy-saving tips and, of course, hidden vouchers to take part in the new competition for 2011 can also be found on the Internet at www.energiessen.de.
