Syracuse, NY (PRWEB) May 20, 2014 -- Bonnie Castle Resort has reduced its energy usage and environmental impact by implementing energy-efficient interior and exterior lighting upgrades at its marina in Alexandria Bay, NY. The lighting upgrades, completed by SmartWatt Energy via the https://www..nationalgridus.com/smallbusiness [National Grid Small Business Services Program __title__ ], have reduced Bonnie Castle Resort’s energy consumption by 33,400 kWh, which is equivalent to removing an estimated 36,470 pounds of carbon dioxide from the environment per year, according to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency calculations.
SmartWatt performed a complimentary energy audit of all interior and exterior lighting, and proposed a plan to replace the existing lighting systems with energy-efficient fluorescent and LED lighting fixtures throughout the marina at Bonnie Castle Resort. In addition to substantial energy and maintenance cost savings, these lighting upgrades have resulted in a National Grid rebate of $7,474 and according to National Grid are expected to pay for themselves in only 10 months.
SmartWatt is the administrator and implementation contractor for National Grid's Small Business Services Program in Central, Northern, and Mohawk Valley New York. The National Grid Small Business Services Program helps businesses with an average peak demand of 100 kW or less per month to conduct energy-efficient upgrade measures. Through this program, SmartWatt will provide a complimentary energy audit and National Grid will pay up to 70 percent of the installation costs completed by SmartWatt and finance the remaining amount interest-free for up to two years.
