Why is LIPA implementing Efficiency Long Island?
LIPA is committed to providing its customers with the most reliable service at the lowest practical price. To meet this goal, LIPA must ensure that it will always have enough supply resources to serve customers electrical needs with margin in case of equipment failure or unexpected increase in customer demand. Based upon our evaluations, Efficiency Long Island is the most effective approach to meet these needs because it lowers overall energy consumption more cost effectively than the alternative of adding new generating resources.
