6ABC — Construction is now officially underway to improve streetlights throughout Philadelphia. It's being called the single largest energy conservation project the city has ever undertaken.

Philadelphia Inquirer — Philadelphia will replace all of the city’s 130,000 streetlights with energy-efficient bulbs over the next two years with the dual purpose of showering high-crime neighborhoods in brighter light and cutting electricity use citywide.

City leadership and the Philadelphia Energy Authority (PEA) announced the kickoff of construction for the Philly Streetlight Improvement Project, a citywide project to replace and connect approximately 130,000 streetlights into a network of more efficient, longer-lasting, remotely-controlled light emitting diode (LED) lights.

On October 18, 2022, the Philadelphia Streetlight Improvement Project (PSIP) hosted a community kick-off event at the Academy of Natural Sciences. The event recording features details on the citywide streetlight conversion to LEDs with an emphasis on how community involvement will help shape the project.

The City of Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Energy Authority (PEA), in partnership with Ameresco, Inc., have launched trial installations for the Philly Streetlight Improvement Project (PSIP), a comprehensive light emitting diode (LED) streetlighting, controls and networking project.
