    Eversource conducted major energy efficiency upgrades to five community buildings and street lighting in the city of Torrington, Conn.

    With these improvements, Torrington is now saving about 427,000 kilowatt-hours of power annually, which is equal to reducing the emissions from more than 760,000 miles driven by a gas-powered car.

    In addition to upgraded street lighting, energy efficiency improvements were made at the Fire Department, Police Department, Teen Center, Veteran’s Office and Public Works Department. Eversource, working with contractor Fulcrum Energy Solutions, completed the upgrades in less than one year.

    “Strong partnerships lead to meaningful changes, and we’re thrilled to support Torrington’s environmental goals through efficiency solutions that will help the city save energy and reduce their carbon footprint,” Eversource Vice President of Energy Efficiency and Electric Mobility Tilak Subrahmanian said. “Through the Energize Connecticut℠ Energy Opportunities program, the city received incentives to invest in energy-efficient equipment that will have long-term benefits for their community, the environment and their long-term budget.”

    Among the upgrades, Eversource installed long-lasting and efficient LED lighting, high-efficiency boilers, insulation, updated energy-saving controls for HVAC systems and hot water pumps, and installed low-flow faucet aerators, which reduce the flow of water.

    “The completion of these municipal projects marks a significant milestone in Torrington’s sustainability journey,” Torrington Mayor Elinor Carbone said. “Through our collaboration with Eversource, we have both enhanced the energy efficiency of our public buildings as well as set a new benchmark for future initiatives. These improvements reflect our commitment to creating a healthier environment for our residents and ensuring responsible stewardship of our resources.”
