RE: Climate Challenge Program Participation

Dear Secretary O'Leary:

Shrewsbury's Electric Light Plant (SELP) agrees to participate in the Climate Challenge Program. The following list identifies the actions that our utility has taken since 1991, or will take by the year 2000 to reduce or prevent greenhouse gas emissions. The worksheet(s) and attachment(s) enclosed provide more specific information on these options.

Demand-side Management

    • Residential compact fluorescent lighting

    • Commercial/Industrial lighting efficiency

    • Converting 92 watt incandescent & 100 watt mercury street lights to 70 watt high pressure sodium
Transmission and Distribution System Improvements
    • Low-loss transformers
SELP expects that the combination of these actions will reduce or prevent annual emissions of 3,185 tons of carbon dioxide in the year 2000. Furthermore, SELP will report annually, on a form provided by the Department of Energy/Energy Information Administration, on activities and achievements under the Climate Challenge Program.

Sincerely,

(Original signed by)
