American flag at sunrise
Col Sandra WilsonLt. Col Greg HoffmanTucson Electric Power (TEP) has consistently demonstrated the power of partnerships in many successful and impactful ways and there are numerous success stories when it comes to energy efficiency. They began recognizing customers with BrightEE awards five years ago to promote awareness of its energy efficiency programs, which help customers save energy while producing substantial environmental benefits. Join me to learn about TEP’s impactful partnership with the Arizona Air National Guard – winners of the Large Business/Government Entity of the Year. In 2017, they completed two projects that resulted in more the 1.5 MILLION kWh in energy savings. We will get some in-depth information on how they updated exterior induction lighting on streets, parking lots and building exteriors, and installed energy management systems for heating and cooling units. What may surprise you is how all of this is tied in to their mission of guarding America and defending freedom. This show made possible due to the generous support of Tucson Electric Power
