Euclid, Ohio - The City of Euclid is thrilled to announce that it has been selected to receive not one, but two grants from the Energy Efficiency Program for Ohio Communities (EEPOC) Grant Program. These grants, totaling $500,000, will be instrumental in advancing the city's sustainability efforts and reducing energy consumption.
The first grant, amounting to $250,000, will be allocated towards lighting and Direct Digital Controls upgrades within the city. This project is expected to result in an impressive 90.5% in utility savings, showcasing Euclid's commitment to energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The implementation of state-of-the-art lighting technologies will not only enhance visibility and safety for residents but also contribute to a greener environment.
In addition, the City of Euclid will receive a second grant of $250,000 specifically designated for lighting retrofits. With a projected savings of 67.5%, this initiative will further bolster Euclid's position as a leader in sustainable practices. By upgrading outdated lighting systems to more energy-efficient alternatives, the city is actively reducing our carbon footprint, a move towards our Master Plan goal of achieving a 30% reduction in emissions by 2030.
Mayor Kirsten Holzheimer Gail expressed her gratitude for the grants, stating, "These investments in energy efficiency will not only benefit our city financially but also environmentally. We are proud to be at the forefront of sustainable development and look forward to the positive impact these projects will have on our facilities."
