Feel like a quick drive around the world? How about 500 of them?  

 

Ok, so that’s not going to happen anytime soon – not without a lot of time off and the ability to drive over oceans, anyway. But it makes the point: Longmont, when it comes to energy efficiency, you really know how to go the distance.  

 

You see, in 2025, Longmont Power & Communications customers saved about 3,500 megawatt-hours of energy through Efficiency Works. That’s electricity that never had to be generated because of smart choices by Longmont homes and businesses. But how much electricity are we talking about?  

 

To put it into simpler terms, 3,500 megawatt hours of electricity would let you: 

 

• Drive 12.6 million miles in a typical electric vehicle – enough to circle the world about 500 times 
• Run 7,000 refrigerators for a year  

• Power about 5,000 typical Longmont homes for a month  

• Toast 311.5 million slices of bread – almost enough to give a piece of toast to everyone in the country 

 

In short: that’s a lot of electricity saved. So how do you become part of it?  

 

Start by contacting Efficiency Works and scheduling an energy assessment. That can help you find hidden savings and open the door to a number of rebates for efficiency projects. And this isn’t just for your home – Efficiency Works can help your business save money and energy, too.  

 

And it gets even better. About 50% of our Efficiency Works projects helped make it easier for folks to go all-electric – things like shifting to an electric oven or water heater or even a heat pump to heat and cool the entire home electrically. That means Longmont isn’t just saving energy, it’s burning less carbon and creating fewer emissions for better air quality.
