Climate Action = Fiscal Management• Chico, CA: In 2008, the City Council approved establishing a GHG reduction target of 25% below 2005 levels by 2020
• Recently installed a 1,107 kilowatt PV system at Water Pollution Control Plant, supplying 40% of the plant’s energy needs
• Due to the implementation of the PV system, the city of Chico anticipates an annual savings of $250,000,a 30-year savings of $4 million, with the system paying itself off in only 15 years
• The city also expects to save up to $1 million a year in electricity savings by replacing traffic lights with LED lights
