Recently, The Independent featured an article showcasing the Live More, Save More program. It gave an overview of what the program offers. See for yourself posted below:
"
The City of Livermore has launched an innovative program expected to reduce its energy costs, stimulate the local economy and create local jobs, engage the city’s residents and students, and save taxpayers more than $10 million over the next 25 years, without any up-front outlay of capital funding by the city.
With the help of Chevron Energy Solutions, the city has installed solar generating capacity at three sites: the Civic Center, main library and airport. Combined with a range of energy efficiency measures, these installations are expected to offset almost 90 percent of the sites’ power needs. In addition, over 6,000 streetlights have been retrofitted with new LED technology to reduce energy use. By partnering with Livermore-based Bridgelux, a developer and manufacturer of LED lighting technologies and solutions, the city is helping to support and scale a local business, create new local jobs and boost its economy.
