Commercial/Industrial Lighting Retrofit Program
The Town of Norwood Municipal Light Department ("NLD") is pleased to continue its Commercial / Industrial Lighting Retrofit Program. By participating in this program our commercial customers will not only be reducing their own electric bills, they will also be assisting the Town and its Electric Department in its goal to conserve energy and save money.
This program has been divided into four groups: (1) municipal, (2) small commercial, (3) medium commercial and (4) large commercial / industrial. The Town of Norwood will contribute a percentage (maximum of fifty percent) of the project cost, or up to certain specified limits depending upon the size of the customer. The breakdown is as follows:
Group Name | Customer Size | Size | NLD Max Contribution |
Group 1 | Municipal | All Sizes | $15,000 |
Group 2 | Small Comm. | Less than 11KVA | $4,000 |
Group 3 | Medium Comm. | 100-500 KVA | $9,000 |
Group 4 | Large Comm. | Larger than 500 KVA | $15,000 |
We would like to see all of our business customers take advantage of this worthwhile program in order to reduce their energy demand and to lessen their electric bills. Project proposals will be analyzed according to greatest kilowatt reduction during peak periods per cost of the project (NLD contribution). Applications will be reviewed on a first-come, first-serve basis and the NLD will determine whether it deems a project worthwhile. NLD determination as to whether a project is worthwhile is final and not subject to review. All work must be completed and inspected to qualify for this program.
The NLD hopes this program will continue for several years and would like all its business customers to participate in this program. Many customers may be surprised to find that up to 33% of their electrical consumption is from lighting. By retrofitting their existing lighting, customers can realize substantial and ongoing savings. This program is administered by Energy New England.
