Burlington, VT (PRWEB) April 01, 2013
As summer approaches, Efficiency Vermont is taking steps to reduce peak electricity demands. Incandescent lighting is a major drain on energy resources, so Efficiency Vermont is undertaking to replace it with light-emitting diodes (LEDs)the most efficient lights on the market. LEDs can offer energy savings of up to 80 percent over incandescent lighting. Whats more, LEDs produce less heatreducing the need for air conditioning, and further reducing summer peak electricity demands.
Efficiency Vermont required an experienced and capable partner to implement the LED Upgrade Program, so it awarded SmartWatt Energy the sole program implementation and administration contract.
Were excited to work with Efficiency Vermont and help reduce summer peak demand, said Matt Cinquanti, Vice President of Utility Programs at SmartWatt Energy. Direct install energy-efficiency programs like this allow customers to make significant energy efficiency improvements with no capital investment, while also capturing significant kilowatt and kilowatt-hour savings toward the aggressive savings goals of Efficiency Vermonts Program Portfolio. We look forward to partnering with Efficiency Vermont to help relieve load constraints and achieve their energy efficiency goals.
Reducing Costs While Increasing Efficiency
The LED Upgrade Program will help targeted Vermont businesses lower their electricity costs, while also reducing peak electricity demands. Targeted businesses are located in specific areas of the state identified by the Vermont Public Service Board where electricity demands are high. The LED Upgrade Program is part of Efficiency Vermonts larger effort to help prevent the need for costly new power-supply infrastructure.
