Convert Streetlights

Measure

The County will convert streetlights to more energy-efficient technologies.

In Progress

Efforts for the measure have begun and some target indicators have been achieved.

Implementation

Replace remaining high-pressure sodium (HPS) and mercury-vapor (MV) streetlights with energy-saving light emitting diode (LED) technology.

Timeframe: Long term

GHG Reduction Potential: Will reduce energy consumption, but no GHGs reduced in 2030 because of the availability of carbon-neutral electricity sources.

Sector: Building Energy

Target Indicator: In 2015, 10,533 streetlights still relied on HPS or MV technology. The County will replace these with LEDs by 2030.

Status of Implementation

The Department of Transportation maintains approximately 24,000 streetlights for illumination County-wide. 21,800 streetlights have been converted to LED lamps through the annual streetlight replacement program. There are approximately 2,200 replacements to complete in the next four years at the rate of 550 lamps per year.
