Green Mountain Power to help towns pay for energy-efficient streetlights


Green Mountain Power Corp. is teaming with Efficiency Vermont on a program aimed at helping every town in the utility's territory change over to energy-efficient streetlights.

The power company plans to offer financial assistance to towns so they change out their streetlights to light-emitting diode streetlights, or LEDs.

The plan was submitted to the Vermont Public Service Board on Feb. 28, seeking regulators' approval to use $300,000 from Green Mountain Power's efficiency fund. The company also plans to file a new tariff for the LED lights, to lower the cost towns pay for leasing street lights.
