Project Scope

• Replace all existing 100-Watt high pressure sodium (HPS) cobra head roadway lights with LED fixtures

• About 14,000 lights in Orlando, Orange County, St. Cloud and Osceola County

• Represents 52 percent of roadway fixtures• 60-month implementation schedule• One-for-one exchange between

HPS and LED• Total capital cost of $4.9 million

Five-Year Plan

• Market competition drives innovation• Price of fixtures continues to decline• Technology continues to improve• Department of Energy (DOE) predicts additional

100 percent increase in lumens per watt by 2020

Energy & Cost Savings

• Greater than 50 percent reduction in consumption• ~3.5 GWh of energy reduction per year at full

implementation in 2018• Contributes towards conservation goal• City of Orlando will realize nearly $300,000 in

annual savings at full implementation

GreenWorks Orlando Goals

• Goal 1: Greenhouse gas neutral for municipal operations by 2030– Objective: Reduce greenhouse gas emissions

15 percent from 2010 levels by 2017– Project will meet 2 percent of the 15-percent goal

• Goal 3B: 50 percent reduction in municipal electricity Consumption by 2030– Objective: 10 percent reduction in electricity used by

2017 from 2010 levels– Project will meet 1 percent of the 10-percent goal

Next Steps

• Continue to monitor the development of LED technology

• Evaluate the replacement of 250W and 400W cobra head roadway fixtures– 13,000 fixtures

• Pilot project to test retrofit kits for decorative fixtures

• Submit capital projects to the Commission when one-for-one replacement is deemed economic and effective
