												RESIDENTIAL UNCONTROLLED ELECTRIC WATER HEATER PROGRAM					
					<p>The Residential Uncontrolled Water Heater Program is for NLD customers who have electric water heaters that are metered through their regular electric meter. These customers are able to have a switch installed on their electric hot water tank (at no cost) that allows the town to control their water heater during the town’s peak electric usage hours. The switches are installed by the NLD licensed electrician and remotely controlled by NLD at its Central Street office. Participating customers receive a credit of $4 dollars per month ($48 per year) on their electric bill. Please call the NLD billing office at <b>781-948-1150</b> if you would like to sign up for this program.</p>
												RESIDENTIAL CONTROLLED ELECTRIC WATER HEATER PROGRAM					
					<p>The Residential Controlled Water Heater Program is designed for customers who have a separate electric meter for their electric water heater. The electric hot water heater is now directly controlled by NLD rather than by time clocks as it previously was. This method allows NLD to shut off electric water heaters during the town&#8217;s peak demand periods. Participating customers are billed at a lower off-peak rate for allowing NLD to control their electric water heaters.  Previously, the water heaters were shut-off for a period of 4 to 6 hours per day by time clocks. Under the new system, the hot water heaters are shut-off for less time (normally 2 to 3 hours on weekdays) and only as the town approaches its peak (usually between 11 am and 4 pm). The improved system is more convenient for the customer and allows the town to have better control of its peak demand.</p><p>Over 600 meters have been replaced. The program is monitored and maintained to ensure that the water heaters are shut-off as the town approaches its peak demand.</p>
												COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL LIGHTING RETROFIT PROGRAM					
					The Commercial/Industrial Lighting Retrofit Program is designed to help NLD’s business customers use energy efficient lighting to meet their lighting needs. The objective of this program is to help overcome the current market barriers (primarily higher cost) for the installation of energy efficient lighting technologies. Through NLD, The Town of Norwood assists businesses in determining the most effective way to accomplish the goal of this program. NLD will contribute a maximum of 50% of a project’s cost, provided the grant is less than the specified maximum amount for the group the project falls within. In other words, if the total project cost is $12,000, then NLD will grant a maximum of $6,000. If the total project cost is $50,000, then NLD’s grant will not exceed $15,000.
NLD is pleased to continue its Commercial/Industrial Lighting Retrofit Program. By participating in this program NLD’s commercial customers will not only be reducing their own electric bills, but they will also be assisting the Town of Norwood and its Electric Department in its goals of conserving energy and saving money.
This program has been divided into four groups: municipal, small commercial, medium commercial, and large commercial/industrial. The Town of Norwood will contribute a percentage (maximum of 50%) of the project cost, or up to the certain specified maximum depending upon the size and grouping of the customer. The breakdown is as follows:

NLD would like to see all of its business customers take advantage of this worthwhile program in order to reduce their energy demand and electric bills. However, budgetary limitations only allow a certain number of projects to be undertaken this year. Proposals will be judged according to which projects provide the greatest kilowatt reduction during peak periods per cost of the project (NLD’s contribution). Applications will be reviewed on a first-come-first-served basis. NLD will determine whether it deems a project worthwhile. Determination as to whether a project is worthwhile is final and not subject to review. All work done must be completed and inspected to qualify for this program.
NLD hopes this program will continue for several years and would like all of its business customers to participate in it.  Many customers may be surprised to find that up to 33% of their electrical consumption is from lighting. Customers can realize substantial and ongoing savings by retrofitting existing lighting. Any further questions concerning this program can be directed to Daniel Morrissey at <b>781-948-1131</b> or <a href="mailto:dmorrissey@norwoodlight.com"><u>dmorrissey@norwoodlight.com</u></a>.
