Horizon Utilities Corporation is proud to present Players Paradise Indoor Sports Facility with a $20,782 cheque following its extensive lighting retrofit project.
Horizon Utilities’ conservation and demand management team worked with Players Paradise Sports Complex to assist in finding greater efficiencies and accessing incentives offered by the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO).
The indoor sports facility replaced 572 interior tube lights, 48 on-field lights and 15 exterior lights. The high-efficiency lights will aid in almost 280,000 kWh in energy savings and a total of 40.3 kW demand savings.
The completion of the lighting retrofit has encouraged the Players Paradise team to continue its conservation efforts by participating in other conservation and demand management initiatives throughout the 2016 calendar year.
“At Horizon Utilities we contribute to the long-term sustainability of our community by reducing energy use to save money for our communities,” said Brian Smith, Chief Conservation Officer of Horizon Utilities. “Energy conservation is at the heart of everything we do while using our expertise and incentives is a true benefit to us all.”
“Since our lighting retrofit, we have seen up to a 50 per cent decrease in daily electricity consumption which has been great for our bottom line,” said Tasha Mazza-Kelton, President of Players Paradise Sports Complex. “More importantly, the light quality inside the facility is more vibrant and allows our customers to have a better playing experience.
Efficient use of electricity can help reduce costs and conserve energy.
