  3. The Customer Challenge……. Changes in the lighting industry are influencing customer behavior and decisioning: Legislative changes eliminating certain lighting products Environmental concerns Economic considerations Rising cost of energy Availability of more cost efficient lighting solutions Rebates and grants available to move to more efficient lighting solutions Lower monthly payment Decrease term Improve ROI Desire to own lighting assets vs. rental from utility

  4. The Customer Challenge……. Customers need to move quickly to address all of these issues, but have to deal with the financial aspects…. CAPEX budget considerations Availability of CAPEX dollars in current budget Planning for future CAPEX dollars may come at a cost/penalty Utilization of existing bank lines of credit Using cash on hand Bond issuance Opportunity cost – what gets “horse traded” Cost of delaying Continue paying higher utility and maintenance costs Lose out on incentives/rebates/tax benefits

  5. What are your customers saying…. I’ll begin the process to request bond funding… Come back to see me next February, I’ll put the project into the 2014 budget….. I’d love to move forward, but I do not know how I can pay for the initial investment…. I’m going to call my bank and try to finance the project with them…. This looks great and I can see the benefits, but I just can’t move forward now…. I will have to put in a capital improvement request and maybe I can get it approved…. Let me see if I can scrape together some capital out of my budget……

Through the Mayors’ Lighting Partnership, Philips will work with cities to develop turnkey lighting solutions that integrate energy assessments, design, installation, financing, project management, maintenance and customer care. With state-of-the-art lighting technologies, such as LED, cities can lower their energy consumption substantially, while enhancing the security and lighting of streets, buildings and public spaces. “Philips has lit some of the most iconic images of Philadelphia, including the Ben Franklin Bridge, Avenue of the Arts, the “Love” sculpture and Boathouse Row. The U.S. Conference of Mayors welcomes the opportunity to partner with Philips to help mayors across the nation learn more about the many ways energy efficient lighting technology can benefit their cities,” said Michael A. Nutter, Mayor of Philadelphia and President of the U.S. Conference of Mayors. "As an innovator and leader in LED lighting, Philips has been working with cities for decades on ways to meet municipal lighting needs including increased safety, lowered maintenance and energy costs, and strategies for cities to re-define themselves and enhance the quality of life for their residents,” said Bruno Biasiotta, CEO and President of the Americas for Philips. “Iconic lighting can help boost tourism and bring new revenue streams to a city, while street lighting projects can help enhance public safety and add jobs. We believe in public-private partnerships and, through the Mayors’ Lighting Partnership, Philips is committed to working with the U.S. Conference of Mayors to show Mayors what light can do for their cities.” This Partnership enables mayors to access free energy assessments from Philips that will show cities how new lighting technologies save money, deliver greater energy efficiency and help them turn their iconic landmarks into destination points. Philips will also offer innovative financing with no up-front costs and a short payback period so the city’s savings cover the cost of implementation. Additional information on the Mayors’ Lighting Partnership is available at the Conference’s website at www.usmayors.org/MayorsLightingPartnership. “The U.S. Conference of Mayors has long been a leader in helping cities become more energy-efficient, from spearheading advocacy efforts for energy block grants and the Mayors' Climate Protection Agreement embraced by more than 1,000 mayors to passing a recent resolution endorsing the ’use of solid-state LED streetlight luminaries for lighting public streets and rights-of-way.’ We are pleased to join with Philips in the Mayors’ Lighting Partnership, which is certain to save money for cities and their taxpayers and reduce their energy consumption,” said Tom Cochran, U.S. Conference of Mayors CEO and Executive Director.
