Earlier this month,\u00a0DTE Energy\u00a0announced a\u00a0rate hike for LED lights.\u00a0The decision sparked\u00a0anger in Michigan city officials involved in municipal streetlight conversions, who would see their financial incentives for energy conservation\u00a0diminish. At the same time, DTE plans to lower\u00a0its rates on\u00a0sodium lighting,\u00a0which can use up to three times more electricity than LED.In 2014 Ypsilanti, best known as the home of Eastern Michigan University, converted all 1,100 of its streetlights to LED \u2014 making it the first Michigan municipality to do so. City leaders worked with DTE Energy on the project and expected to see substantial annual energy savings. In the first year, the municipality\u2019s DTE energy bill was\u00a029 percent lower,\u00a0saving $176,000. Now, with DTE\u2019s proposed rate increase, Ypsilanti\u2019s city leaders are seeing their expected savings disappear.\"\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-93919","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nMichigan utility on the wrong track increasing rates for LED municipal lighting -
