We are pleased to support the City's energy efficiency goals and encourage you to learn more about the energy incentives and rebates we offer.īainbridge Island welcomed a new public art installation in December, and PSE is funding lighting for the installation. The light fixtures also reduce sky glow, or upward light, reducing light pollution in the night sky. These energy-saving, state-of-the-art investments improve safety by focusing light on sidewalks and roadways, where it's needed most. That is the same as eliminating the greenhouse gases from 11.2 cars each year!

The new LED lights will save the city over $12,000 and 75,193 kWh each year. PSE is eager to continue supporting community-based green energy solutions such as the biodigester.įor more information on the pub's HORSE biodigester, check out this video.Īt the end of 2016 when the nights were long, we were part of several activities that helped light up Bainbridge Island.Īt the City Council meeting on January 3, PSE presented the City of Bainbridge Island with a $15,038 grant to retrofit 207 street lights with light emitting diode (LED) lighting. The pub's owner Jeff Waite noted, The ‘feeding' of the HORSE has motivated our staff to look for additional ways of repurposing our waste streams.” He hopes the digester will have a larger community impact, too: Based on the positive feedback we are experiencing, we think it is time for a community-wide discussion on how the Island can move on more community-based installations,” Waite said. The HORSE has already made an impact on the Harbour Public House. The opportunity to learn from local farms about how well the HORSE's biofertilizer works on their crops This has several benefits:Īn increase in educational opportunities about the digesterĪ larger amount of food waste to add to the digester, which will produce more energy and biofertilizer The 6-month lease extension means the HORSE will be located at the Harbour Public House during the summer months, when the pub has increased foot traffic. The pilot project's three partners (Impact Bioenergy, Harbour Public House, PSE) are pleased with the HORSE's progress and extended the lease to September 24, 2017!
