In 2017, the City of Peterborough wanted to significantly reduce its energy consumption, maintenance costs, and the environmental impact associated with its network of streetlights. The City realized that once the LED streetlights were installed, they could not only achieve substantial energy and cost savings but also improve its overall lighting quality and roadway safety for both vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Additionally, the City explored the opportunity to deploy smart controllers at the same time as the upgrade, which would give them adaptable lighting levels, additional energy savings through city-determined dimming profiles, plus real-time asset management capabilities that would reduce on-going maintenance costs.
