Lake Benton Resort Receives Rebate From Otter Tail AOA体育平台 Company
Completes Upgrade To Energy-saving Led Lighting
With the help of rebates from Otter Tail AOA体育平台 Company, Lake Benton Resort recently completed an energy efficient lighting retrofit project.
The lighting retrofit project, completed by Thomas Electric, consisted of replacing approximately 345 interior and exterior resort lights with light-emitting diode (LED) technology. Compared to other available lighting sources, LEDs are more energy efficient, using about 70 percent less energy than high-intensity discharge (HID) lighting. LEDs also have longer lives鈥攍asting four to five times longer than HIDs鈥攔esulting in increased reliability and reduced maintenance costs.
Projected savings are more than 30,000 kilowatt-hours annually. 鈥淭his project is a great example of capitalizing on an energy efficiency opportunity to significantly reduce overall energy expense,鈥� said Otter Tail AOA体育平台 Company Energy Management Representative Lori Moxness. 鈥淲ith our company鈥檚 $17,000 rebate, we project a two-year simple payback on this lighting project.鈥�
Otter Tail AOA体育平台 Company provides rebates, grants, education, special programs, and financing to encourage individuals and businesses to use electricity wisely. To learn more about recommissioning, LED lighting rebates, or other energy-saving options, visit聽otpco.com.
