LED#


Light-emitting diode (LED) technology is the next step in lighting efficiency. Fort Collins Utilities and Platte River Power Authority are partnering with local retailers to bring you ENERGY STAR® qualified specialty LEDs at discounted prices.

LED products are designed to have an even longer life than CFL products. LEDs are commonly being used for traffic lights, decorative light strings, flashlights and nightlights and are increasingly being used in households.

LED bulbs and fixtures have recently become more widely available and affordable for residential and business lighting needs. It's important to note these products represent an emerging technology and come in a wide range of quality. Some products may not deliver the performance you expect.

Learn about LED technology and advice from ENERGY STAR®. The ENERGY STAR label provides an easy way to locate energy-efficient products that meet program specifications.

Did You Know?

In warm seasons at night (when temperatures are cooler), open windows when you feel comfortable doing so (i.e. in calm weather condition, with a window stopper in place, during clean air days, etc). 

Insulating hot water pipes leading from the water heater helps keep your hot water from cooling off before it gets to the tap.

Customers experience some of the best reliability in the country with the average household being without power for less than 20 minutes per year – that means service is available 99.99% of the time!
