The City of Medicine Hat has successfully retrofitted lighting at 12 local facilities with energy-efficient LED technology, part of a provincial initiative aimed at reducing operational costs. Funded by a $430,000 grant from the Government of Alberta through the Municipal Climate Change Action Centre, the upgrades replaced aging and inefficient lighting infrastructures. The project involved replacing 2,537 lights and 883 fluorescent tubes, leading to an estimated energy savings of 30-50%. Officials project a reduction of approximately 3,662 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions over the project’s lifetime and an annual utility cost saving of nearly $98,000. City officials expressed gratitude for the support received, highlighting the environmental benefits alongside significant cost efficiencies.
