Kinston, North Carolina, receives $615,218 in funds for LED streetlights

The city of Kinston, North Carolina, is prepared to launch its first large scale LED streetlight deployment. The project will involve the installation of approximately seven hundred forty fixtures and is funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) program. The Kinston project is likely to be the first deployment of a multi-phase LED streetlight initiative. The first phase will be funded by an EECBG award in the amount of $499,500 and leveraged funds of $115,718, for a project total of $615,218. The EECBG award is locally administered by the North Carolina Energy Office. City officials were officially notified of the EECBG award in early October 2010, and are now establishing project details and specifications.
