The Placerville Downtown Association cut energy use and embraced modern LED lighting technology when it replaced more than 5,800 incandescent outdoor lights with LEDs. The new lights use a fraction of the energy and will last up to 15 years. With the help of PG&E's Motherlode Energy Watch Partnership, the change will save 117,000 kWh annually and $17,000 in energy costs for downtown merchants.
