Get plugged in to creative online activities and games. Created for Georgia Power’s Learning Power program, this Energy Efficiency Tool, geared towards all ages (elementary, middle and high school students and their parents and teachers), delivers fun, interactive learning on energy efficiency.

The Learning Power Energy Efficiency Tool allows the player to estimate energy use and cost for appliances and equipment found in a home. The player can choose a room in a house, select an appliance, amount of time the appliance is used, and then see the estimated cost of running the equipment. The player will see which appliances use more energy and the cumulative impact of their choices.

Even little changes can make a difference in saving electricity and money.
