Colorado Springs shut off ~10,000/28,000

• No incentive to convert to more energy efficient lamp

• Xcel Energy base charge ~ $20/month• IREA ~ $23/month• Colorado Springs ~$28/month

•By recapitalizing ~$2/month for power (100w)~$1/month to power LED’s – Energy Saver

∆ = $18-$19/light/month x 200,000 lights, 90% reduction from simply recapitalizing
