The challenge
Crossroads Shopping Center is a busy retail property where parking-lot, storefront, and common-area lighting run long hours every day. The aging fixtures were expensive to power and maintain, and inconsistent light levels affected both tenant appeal and shopper safety after dark.
The solution
NRG Incentives packaged a center-wide LED retrofit — exterior, parking, and common areas — and secured utility rebate support to offset the investment, delivering brighter, more uniform light with dramatically lower energy and maintenance costs.
The results
The upgrade delivers $60,000 in annual energy savings against a $180,000 project investment — net $165,000 after the $15,000 utility rebate — recovering the net investment in roughly 2.75 yrs, then compounding into net savings while the new lighting keeps working.
