Conservation--Your Savings
5-Year Conservation Action Plan

Mayor Nickels and City Light Superintendent Jorge Carrasco announce the new conservation plan at Qwest Field
Mayor Greg Nickels' proposed budget calls for a new energy savings action plan that will double Seattle City Light's current conservation program over the next five years. The $185 million investment in dozens of efficiency programs will save customers more than $310 million in their residential and business bills over five years and create more than 1,000 green jobs.
