Asheville, North Carolina, to purchase up to 900 LED streetlights with EECBG funds

As part of a city-wide initiative to increase energy efficiency, the city council of Asheville, North Carolina, approved a resolution to purchase up to 900 new LED street light fixtures. Funding for the project is from the US Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) program and totals $290,000. Because the city is in a regulated utility market, the purchase of LED fixtures must be through energy provider, Progress Energy.
