LED Streetlight Conversions (MHSC)

The Economics of LED Street Light Conversion: Spotlight on Three Municipalities (6.27.18)
One of the biggest ways local governments can save energy and money is by upgrading to energy-efficient LED street lights. For many municipalities, street lighting is the single greatest electricity cost in government operations. Beyond saving energy and money, LED technology has superior optics over older technologies, it can improve visibility and reduce glare, which helps to make streets safer for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists.
Join the Mid-Hudson Street Light Consortium to take an in-depth look at three communities that are undergoing LED street light conversions. They will discuss why the community chose to convert to LEDs, the pathway to conversion, lessons learned, and the outcomes.

LED Street Lights – Procurement, Technology and Regulatory Issues for Munis (4.11.18)

By replacing conventional street lights with energy efficient LED technology, communities can reduce street light energy use by as much as 65 percent, generating cost savings and emission reductions. In addition, street light projects can contribute to creating a well-lit, safer, and more attractive community. 

LED street lights last up to 100,000 hours and require much less maintenance than conventional ones. The opportunity to incorporate smart, connected technology such as dimming functions, enhanced law enforcement response, and parking management offers a world of possibilities. Even those communities that do not own their streetlights have options for converting those in their jurisdiction to LED.

Learn about the options available to your community and the next steps towards conversion.

LED Street Lights: Can Your Community Afford to Wait? (06.08.17)
Whether your municipality decides to buy LED street lights or lease them from your utility, it is prudent to understand the activities that would go into preparing for street light conversion. In addition to contributing substantially to greenhouse gas reductions, research has demonstrated that LED street lights produce savings of up to 65 percent, which is why interest in conversion is growing exponentially statewide.

Even if your community has started down the path to conversion, new information is available about NYSERDA funding opportunities, relevant Public Service Commission filings, and finance mechanisms.
