Sunovia EnergyTechnologies, Inc. is pleased to announce that ithas been awarded a LED lighting contract by the city of Fairview, Texas. Thecontract calls for Sunovia to provide its energy-efficient EvoLucia(TM) LEDlighting products for street lighting within the city.
By replacing typical metal halide and/or incandescent lights withSunovia's proprietary LED lighting products, municipalities and othercustomers typically save more than 75% in electrical costs, and thereforereduce carbon emissions by the same percentage. These electrical savings haveallowed Sunovia to develop a financing program whereby the cost of theEvoLucia(TM) LED lights is offset largely by the electrical savings enjoyed asa result of the installation.
'The environmental and energy-efficient vision of Fairview's city councilis simply a pleasure to work around, and I am confident that their leadershipwill have a domino effect on other cities within the state of Texas and aroundthe country,' stated Bob Fugerer, president and CTO of Sunovia. 'I believethat the city of Fairview will be a springboard for the company to secureadditional opportunities and projects in the future, and I am proud of thework that our company, and specifically our engineering team, is doing in thisimportant area of the industry,' added Fugerer.
