Dayton Power and Light (DP&L), a subsidiary of The AES
Corporation (NYSE: AES), is presenting Wright-Patterson Air Force
Base (WPAFB) with an energy efficiency rebate of $1 million in
total for energy upgrades that are improving the environment. With
guidance from DP&L, the base implemented several initiatives
over consecutive years resulting in the cumulative savings.
"We are excited to receive our million dollar rebate from
DP&L,” said Colonel John Devillier, commander of the 88th Air
Base Wing. “For every dollar we save in energy reduction, we can
reallocate to other important areas of our mission."
WPAFB has improved the energy efficiency at 100 buildings
on-base through a variety of enhancements, including upgraded
lighting, energy efficient building design and construction and
installing high-efficiency motors, and heating/air conditioning
systems.
By making these changes, WPAFB will realize 16,471,946 kilowatt
hours per year in energy savings.
Additionally, the environmental impact is equivalent to powering
1,562 homes, taking 2,391 cars off the road and preserving 9,310
acres of forest. The federal government will save $1 million a year
in energy costs.
“Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is a leader when it comes to
the defense of our country and is taking action to protect the
environment by adopting these energy-saving measures basewide,”
said DP&L President and CEO Tom Raga. “DP&L is honored to
partner with the Wright-Patterson Energy Management Team and
recognize the achievement of $1 million in total energy efficiency
rebates.”
