“Now more than ever, it's vital that our communities have the resources they need to implement energy efficiency projects in their facilities,” said Oncor Area Manager Terri Shatter. “The Government Facilities Program is just another way Oncor is working to help improve our communities.”
The Government Facilities Program provides local governments with no-cost facility improvement recommendations and financial incentives based on the total amount of energy the improvements or new equipment will save, according to an Oncor press release. In turn, “[this] helps local governments save energy and money.”
“Oncor's Government Facilities Program provided vital resources to help us make these energy efficiency improvements,” said Kaufman County Judge Bruce Wood. “We're proud to make energy efficiency a priority.”
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency calculated the potential energy savings Kaufman County will incur by implementing new high efficiency lighting and cooling systems in six county buildings. The improvements will save approximately 164,933 kilowatt-hours of energy annually, which is equivalent to eliminating the greenhouse gas emissions from 13,046 gallons of gasoline, 24.2 passenger cars, or 16 homes for a total of 116 metric tons of carbon dioxide eliminated.
