        completed a huge LED lighting retrofit for both of
        their  Moreno  Valley  facilities  –  in  fact,  it  was  the
        largest ever energy efficiency project undertaken
        by an MVU customer.

        The project was completed in two phases and
        is expected to save nearly 10 million kilowatt
        hours and over 1 megawatt of demand.  The
        annual savings should result in Amazon saving
        approximately $130,000 on their energy bills!
