Our goal is to give all our 370,000 residential households a free LED to introduce customers to these energy efficient lights and help them save money. Energy conservation is our first resource of choice to meet the electricity needs of our growing community.
While many LEDs look different than a traditional Edison-shaped bulb, they offer significant advantages:
- They are more efficient than even compact fluorescent light bulbs
- They last up to 25 years
- They start up quicker
- And they are compatible with most dimmers.
City Light expects the campaign to generate about 3.9 million kilowatt-hours of energy savings in the first year. That’s enough electricity to power 458 Seattle homes for a year.
Seattle City Light is the 10th largest public electric utility in the United States. It has some of the lowest cost customer rates of any urban utility, providing reliable, renewable and environmentally responsible power to about 750,000 Seattle area residents. City Light has been greenhouse gas neutral since 2005, the first electric utility in the nation to achieve that distinction.
