Converting every Lincoln street light to LED is among the major city projects

Converting every Lincoln street light to LED is among the major city projects Mayor Chris Beutler wants to tackle using a new tool that would leverage energy savings for financing. Beutler is asking the Lincoln City Council to authorize using energy service companies, or ESCOs, to help the city find equipment that will reduce its energy costs and help guarantee energy savings on the projects. The city administration has already selected an ESCO, Schneider Electric, that it wants to look at the LED street light project, said Frank Uhlarik, the city's sustainability and compliance manager.
