Baraga County and the Ecorse, Eastpointe, Flushing, and Mason County school districts were named today by the Michigan Energy Services Coalition as this year's leaders in energy efficiency for projects to upgrade heating, air conditioning, and lighting; and install a 1-megawatt solar array.
Together, the five projects represent a total investment of approximately $13.37 million and anticipated annual energy cost savings of more than $750,000.
"These five outstanding projects are worthy of recognition not only for their investments in energy efficiency that will benefit building users, but also for the big savings that will result for local taxpayers," said Robert Jackson, assistant division director of the Materials Management Division of the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy. "Cutting energy use, whether through large projects such as these or through individual efforts, is good for the environment and in combatting climate change."

"I am pleased to honor our ESC award winners," said Nicole Gazzeny, Michigan chapter president. "They have all shown to their communities a commitment to fiscal responsibility by leveraging operational and energy cost savings to help make needed infrastructure upgrades, while also reducing their environmental impact by shrinking their carbon footprint. The performance contracting process is a valuable option for others to consider as budgets continue to be challenged and institutional infrastructure continues to age."
EGLE partners with Michigan Energy Services Coalition to encourage energy-saving projects in public buildings. This year's winners were honored today at the 2019 Leadership in Energy Efficiency Awards Luncheon at Lansing Community College.
