Southern California Edison (SCE) is providing zero-percent- <br /> interest funding for these improvements through the On-Bill Financing (OBF) Program. <br /> <br /> Staff has had success with energy efficiency LED street lighting projects. In August 2011, the City <br /> Council awarded a pilot contract to install 253 LED streetlights on Main Street and Edinger <br /> Avenue. Then, in January 2012, City Council awarded another project involving the replacement <br /> of 1,123 LED lamps at traffic-signalized intersections. <br /> <br /> Staff has identified a new project to replace aging, inefficient Post Top streetlights at several <br /> locations. Financing for this project is being handled through the SCE OBF Program. The OBF <br /> Program provides zero-percent-interest financing for approved energy-reduction projects. The <br /> funds are repaid using energy bill savings over a short payback period. This financing mechanism <br /> <br /> 20E-1 <br />
