City of Beaumont employees pose with a check from Entergy
Entergy Texas recently recognized the city of Beaumont for its energy efficiency upgrades in replacing 104 fluorescent lights with 55 modern LED lights at the Beaumont Civic Center. The energy efficiency upgrades resulted in a total incentive of about $14,400 from the Commercial Solutions program through Entergy Solutions, which provides technical and financial support to help customers identify and implement projects that reduce energy usage.
“Helping the city of Beaumont save energy and reduce the Beaumont Civic Center’s energy expenses allows us to help the entire community,” said Mark Delavan, program manager at Entergy Texas. “It’s our objective to help the community achieve sustainability goals. We look forward to working with the city of Beaumont in their pursuit of additional energy savings.”
Beaumont completed energy efficiency upgrades to the lighting system by reducing the number of fixtures on the main floor in the Civic Center, reducing energy usage, as well as the maintenance required annually. Entergy Solutions energy engineers determined the project will lower usage by nearly 274,000 kWh annually, reducing carbon dioxide emissions equivalent to about 37 homes’ electricity use for one year according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
