MVU ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROGRAM FOCUS
LED Fixture Retrofits: MVU will pay $0.07 per
kilowatt-hour saved over a one-year period.
In addition to the standard documentation
required for a rebate, the following will be
required for LED rebate applications:
• All new LED fixtures shall be UL listed, Energy
Star™ labeled or contain labeling by an

retrofit project is well underway! This massive project
involves replacing over 6500 older, inefficient light
fixtures with new efficient LED lamps. The results of
this project are estimated to save over 620,000 kWh
and $90,000 annually on their energy bills. Projects
like this are eligible for generous MVU rebates that
reduce the overall cost of the project and bring
the simple payback down to a reasonable level.
