Subject: Proposal for LED Roadway Lighting
No attachments for this document.
The City and Developers pay for the installation of roadway lights as part of
the construction of new and existing streets. The City pays for the energy
cost monthly. Georgia Powers operate and maintains a majority of the roadway
light fixtures. Currently, the City has three providers for service in the
community. Georgia Power has been implementing a program throughout the state
to replace the existing fixtures with more efficient LED lighting fixtures.
Georgia Power has submitted a proposal to replace the existing High Pressure
Sodium Cobra Head Fixtures with LED lighting fixtures throughout the City. The
new fixtures will provide a more efficient lighting of the roadways and reduce
energy consumption. The photo cells on the fixtures will be replaced at a
later date to allow the lights to be monitored for outages.
The replacement of roadway lighting fixtures will be done at no cost to the
City. The City will not receive a reduction in energy cost due to the rate
structure established by the Public Service Commission.
