Background:

In an effort to replace our aging and obsolete lighting fixtures, The County of Prince Edward is implementing a Street Light conversion strategy to replace our entire inventory of our High Pressure Sodium (HPS) streetlights with energy efficient LED. This will have an annual savings of $217,340. The LED streetlights “Greenhouse Gas Reduction” Estimates to:

• Current Annual Energy Consumption (kWh) 1,112,832
• Projected LED Annual Energy (kWh) 297,363
• Annual Saving (kWh) 815,469
• Estimated Annual Green House Gas Reduction (metric tonnes) 25
• GreenHouse Gas Reduction over Luminarie Life of 100,00 hours (metric tonnes) 581

The LED streetlight benefits for Prince Edward County will be:

• Lower Cost
• Longer Life
• Less Energy Use
• Reduced Waste
• Better Safety
• Brighter & More Natural Light

Prince Edward County will have new LED Cree Cobra Head 3000K light fixtures in the following areas.
