5-Year Conservation Action Plan

Mayor Nickels and City Light Superintendent Jorge Carrasco announce the new conservation plan at Qwest Field		Mayor Greg Nickels' proposed budget calls for a new energy savings action plan that will double Seattle City Light's current conservation program over the next five years. The $185 million investment in dozens of efficiency programs will save customers more than $310 million in their residential and business bills over five years and create more than 1,000 green jobs.

Wrapping up soon:
Residential Survey
During April we asked one out of every 100 households in City Light's service area to join in conservation planning. City Light hasn't undertaken such a comprehensive study for more than ten years and energy use has changed a lot in that time. We are ending our survey mailings at the end of May. We hope to hear from all selected households before June 15th. The study will help City Light plan for future energy needs, conservation programs, and customer services. If you have questions or concerns about this study, please call (206) 684-3800.
Or, check Residential Survey for the answers to frequently asked questions about the survey. Thank you to everyone who has taken part.
