Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Installations
Based on the results of the completed solar PV study, a funded capital improvement project was created, ELE103, to pursue solar PV installations at one or more City owned facilities as well as in partnership with Longmont Housing Authority.
What has been done?

Energy Efficiency Lighting Installs
New energy efficient lighting has been installed at the Service Center, in limited areas of the Utility Center, as well as at the Sunset Campus. These upgrades were identified during energy efficiency assessments of the buildings and have received rebates from Efficiency Works. Estimated annual energy savings from these lighting improvements is 33,000kWh.

Information updated 07/17/2024
Environmental Services was awarded a Renewable and Clean Energy Challenge grant through DOLA to support a project at the City's wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) to purchase two new high efficiency blowers to reduce energy consumption of the secondary process by 25% (over 600,000 kWh annually). Construction on the project has begun, which includes installing a 10 kW solar photovoltaic (PV) installation on the roof of the recently constructed maintenance building and adding battery storage to further reduce energy demand from the WWTP.
