Quick Facts Street lights in the U.S.: 26.5 million Energy Consumption Equivalent: 1.9 million households Greenhouse Gas Emissions Equivalent: 2.6 million cars. Energy Only Costs: $2 billion per year Funded by: 90% public taxes | 10% Coops/other Ownership: 60%+ private Investor Owned Utilities

Investment Shift by Major Manufacturers 55% Sustainable Technologies Current Technology Green 95% 2008 2011 Information Courtesy GE Lighting and Philips Roadway Lighting

U.S. Sales Projections - Lighting It is anticipated that Solid-State LED lighting will eventually have total saturation sometime in the future. *Slide Courtesy Philips

About The Consortium - Background Created by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in March 2010 using American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding Support continuing under GATEWAY Demonstrations, one of the DOE Market-Based Programs for Solid-State Lighting (SSL) Intended to be an educational resource on Solid-State street lighting and associated technology for those involved in lighting streets and other outdoor public areas. …and to help accelerate adoption of SSL technology in the nation’s street lighting system

Tools: Model Performance Specification Purpose Developed in response to demand from Consortium members and others To compile experience gained by members To establish a common language and framework To serve as a checklist to minimize errors and omissions To serve as a living document, undergoing continual revision To allow for customization by each adopting entity

Tools: Model Performance Specification Scope Addresses Streets, roadways, and nearby pedestrian ways Pole-mounted luminaires Initial and maintained quality and quantity of illumination Warranty details Ancillary components Doesn’t address Lamp/ballast retrofit products Lighting control systems (yet, but work is underway)

Tools: Model Performance Specification Structure Brief instructions Body of Text References, Related Documents, Definitions Quality Assurance, Lighting System Performance, Required Submittals Warranty Product Requirements Appendix A – Criteria by Luminaire Type Appendix B – Lumen Maintenance Appendix C – Product Family Testing Appendix D – Electrical Immunity Appendix E – Product Submittal Form

Tools: Financial Analysis Tool Purpose Created to evaluate costs and benefits of LED conversion Detailed analysis provides numerous outputs, including: Annual energy and energy-cost savings Annual maintenance savings Annual greenhouse gas reductions Simple payback, IRR Net present value

Tools: Financial Analysis Tool Maintenance Used to derive detailed maintenance costs, if user does not know them Includes both scheduled and emergency maintenance Financing Provides user ability to examine impacts of various financing options Up to 8 loans of varying amounts, terms, interest rates, and start years may be examined Generates detailed annual cash flow data

Financing LED Retrofits Municipally-owned utilities: Los Angeles (70K+ lights)- internal and external loan Seattle (20K+ lights)- internal loan Both use savings to repay the loan and reduce rates New York City – Financing small improvements using existing capital budget and existing baseline funding levels from GF Boston (18K lights) – Began by purchasing street lights back from utility. Seed money for LED program from ARRA led to support from GF

Financing LED Retrofits Energy Services Company (ESCO) type financing: third party provides investment and retains energy and maintenance savings: DC DOT began by purchasing street lights back from utility. Now using an AMC; projected replacement of about 35,000 lights over 5 years Other cities installing specific products that come with “special financing” Bulk purchase: other municipalities, esp. smaller ones, can benefit from combined purchasing power though there are challenges Potential role for a Consortium Financing Committee?
