US town expects significant savings from bulb replacements
In Menasha, Wisconsin, an energy saving proposal was approved last week. With a no-interest loan from the city-owned utility’s power suppplier, WPPI, they expect a fast payback based on annual energy savings.
According to Don Merkes, Mayor in Menasha, the project has the potential of saving $60,000 annually, divided between energy savings from new bulbs and savings on maintenance.
If the calculations are correct, the payback will be les than three years.
The article does not mention whether the city is also planning on installing a centralized control solution.
