Chico, California, awarded $650,000 for LED streetlights

The city of Chico, California, is preparing to launch an LED streetlight project which will target approximately 20% of the city’s existing streetlights for replacement. Chico has received an award from the US Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) program, of which $650,000 will be used to purchase and install LED streetlight fixtures. The LED luminaires will replace existing city-owned high pressure sodium (HPS) fixtures located throughout the metropolitan area. City officials are working with representatives from energy supplier Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) on a full streetlight analysis and inventory.
