Peninsula Light Co. @PenLightCo

As PenLight enters its 101st year of service, we have a unique opportunity to transition from celebrating our first century to embracing our second. While our Centennial logo successfully commemorated 100 years of service, the milestone year has concluded, and it is time to return to a timeless identity that reflects both our heritage and our future. As part of our Centennial celebration, in partnership with the Harbor History Museum, local artist Curtiss Hall restored an original company logo painted on one of our earliest warehouse buildings at the original headquarters location as a "ghost sign." This historic mark serves as a powerful reminder of where we began and the values that continue to guide us today. As we enter our second century of service, we happily reintroduce our nostalgic logo as the foundation of our evolving brand identity. "Rooted in History. Powered by Community."

Just like electrical systems need the right insulation and precautions, your skin does too! UV rays can cause damage you may not see right away, which is why #UVSafetyMonth is a good reminder to check the UV Index before heading out and protect yourself with shade, sunscreen, sunglasses and protective clothing.

Your blinds can do more work than you think. Close blinds or curtains on hot and sunny afternoons to help keep your home naturally cooler. In colder months, open them during the day and let the sunlight warm your space. An easy way to help your HVAC system work a little less while saving you a little more on your energy bill. Sometimes the simplest tricks make the biggest difference.

⚠️ SCAM ALERT We’ve received reports of members getting calls claiming PenLight’s website is changing and directing members to another website to create a new username and password. This is a scam. Our website is not changing, and there is no need to create a new username or password. If you receive this call, hang up and contact PenLight directly if you have any concerns.

Does your golden summer include time on the lake? Electricity needs extra caution around water. Keep cords away from the edge of docks, never use damaged cords and make sure any electrical equipment near the water is rated for the job. A safe setup is always a better ending.

Your ceiling fan doesn’t cool the room; it cools you. Using a fan can help you feel more comfortable without immediately lowering the thermostat. Don't forget to switch it off when you leave the room. Comfort without the extra cost? We’re fans of that.

Fireworks may be tradition, but they also come with real risk. There is a sharp jump in wildfires near homes around July 4th, with human-caused fires far outpacing those started by lightning. Think twice before lighting anything that could spark a fire near dry grass or brush. For more wildfire safety info, visit penlight.org/news-releases/….

A grill coated in dried-on food and sauce can seriously slow things down. Clean grates heat more evenly, so your food cooks faster, better and with less frustration. #NationalGrillingMonth

Protect your accounts by enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA) wherever possible. MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second step, like a code sent to your phone or an authentication app, beyond just your password. Even if a scammer steals your login information through phishing or data breaches, MFA can stop them from accessing your account. At PenLight your security matters. Take a few minutes today to enable MFA and keep your information safe. via @NRECANews
