Watsonville, California installs 400 LED streetlights, plans 1000 more

Watsonville, California, has completed the first phase of the city’s plan to deploy LED streetlights.

Watsonville installed 400 LED streetlights two weeks ago using funds from the the Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) program. Watsonville worked with Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), which has a unique turnkey program for LED streetlights. Cities that participate in the PG&E turnkey program receive a number of benefits. Municipalities receive rebates for purchasing PG&E-approved LED streetlights and electricity rate reductions. PG&E also installs the LED streetlights for turnkey program participants.
