NRG Energy helps “Light the Light”

NRG Energy helps “Light the Light”

The Norwalk Seaport Association (NSA) announced on Saturday,He said: "Approaching it there infrared sauna benefits looked like there was going to be chaos. But because the car drivers had to think a lot more they seemed to be being more careful. March 26, that NRG Energy Inc., which owns and operates five power plants in Connecticut, is helping “Light the Light” on historic Sheffield Island by providing environmentally friendly solar power.

Last year,Badding also explained that the detection of pollutants and environmental r4 販売 toxins could be yet another application of better laser-radar technology capable of interacting with light of longer wavelengths.He said that a county council employee had witnessed a near miss between led lamp a car and cyclist, and he added: "If the argument is leave them off for good, then the answer is ‘no'." NRG’s Connecticut-based staff rebuilt the island’s electrical system, provided new fixtures,Some incandescent bulbs, including large pet carrier aquarium lights and specialty bulbs for appliances, aren't affected by the law. including low-energy LED safety lighting, and replaced existing incandescent lights with LED and compact fluorescent lamps. NRG’s efforts also involved providing and installing 1,500 new feet of conduit and cables, weather-resistant power panels at all the island’s outbuildings and pavilion, and solar-powered safety walkway lighting for safe nighttime use.

In what NSA is calling “Phase II” of the project, NRG will generously donate the full cost and labor needed to design, purchase and install a stand-alone solar photovoltaic (PV) generation system to power the entire island in place of the current system of gasoline-powered generators. Staff from NRG’s Norwalk Harbor, Devon and Connecticut Jets Stations will join volunteers of NSA to execute in 2011.

NSA President Tom Shrum made the announcement during its annual Light House Gala at the Norwalk Inn & Conference Center,It would repeal a portion of the 2007 Energy Independence and leather phone cases Security Act that phases out traditional incandescent light bulbs for more energy-efficient ones over the next several years. Most of the power consumed by incandescent bulbs is released as heat instead of light. which this year honored Connecticut State Senator Bob Duff and State Representative Larry Cafero.

According to Shrum, “We cannot thank NRG and its people enough for the great work they’ve done already, and what they’ll be doing later this year. Repowering the island and its almost 150-year old lighthouse with solar power is a wonderful idea that makes the island more welcoming, safe and accessible, and does so in the most environmentally friendly and responsible way."

Activated in 1868, the Sheffield Island Light was in service for 34 years until its retirement in 1902 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Norwalk Seaport Association is exploring the possibility, along with the U.S. Coast Guard, to permit and install a low-energy LED light that will once again Light the light in the tower.
