Houghton County replaced 400 light bulbs thanks to an energy efficiency program with UPPCO. Yesterday upper technicians worked in the Houghton County Courthouse to replace the building’s mercury vapor lightbulbs, with new LED fluorescent bulbs. County administrator Ben Larsen additionally shared that the program the county used to upgrade to energy-efficient lighting, is open to any business, municipality, or home in the region that is a UPPCO customer.
