Nearly two years ago, the city of Superior, Nebraska, embarked on an ambitious plan to replace all of the city’s streetlights with energy efficient LED fixtures. Superior’s power needs are served by a municipal utility, so city officials hoped to reduce energy consumption and increase energy savings for the community. Energy savings plans included a large-scale replacement of 600 existing high pressure sodium (HPS) streetlights with LED roadway fixtures, funded in part by a $246,000 grant from the US Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) and $62,000 in local funding.
