In November, the city of Asheville, North Carolina, will initiate Phase II of its ambitious plan to replace all existing city streetlights with energy efficient LED streetlight fixtures.
The plan was developed by city officials to drive energy savings and align with long-term municipal environmental goals of reducing the city’s carbon footprint. Over 700 LED fixtures manufactured by BetaLED, a division of Ruud Lighting of Racine, Wisconsin, have been installed on city roadways. Approximately 2,800 BetaLED fixtures will be installed in Phase II of the program, which is slated to begin in November 2011. The third phase is scheduled to begin in the summer of 2012, followed by a fourth and final phase. The city’s streetlight installation program is facilitated through Progress Energy, the city’s energy provider.
