Clean lighting savings estimates for Maine
Mainers stand to save $16 million on electric bills in 2030 from phasing out inefficient lighting
How much could Mainers save on utility bills if LED lightbulb replace fluorescents? This analysis by the Appliance Standards Awareness project explains how clean lighting policy in Maine promises to reduce mercury pollution and energy waste.
VIRTUAL
As part of the 2023 Clean Lighting campaign, the Appliance Standards Awareness Project developed state-level analysis of the potential annual reductions of mercury, power plant emissions, carbon dioxide emissions, energy savings and bill savings in 2030 and 2050.
The analysis also includes an economic analysis of fluorescent vs. LED for most-shipped lamps in the commercial sector.
