National Grid and Olean Complete LED Streetlight Conversion

The city of Olean has partnered with National Grid to convert 1,300 streetlights to LEDs, which will deliver long-term cost and energy savings. The changeover represents the largest such LED streetlight conversion completed by National Grid in Cattaraugus County.

Olean’s streetlights were retrofitted as part of National Grid’s Streetlight Conversion Program, which enables communities to switch from high-pressure sodium lights. The conversion was part of the city’s Walkable Olean project, which focused on pedestrian safety improvements, streamlining traffic patterns and resurfacing busy streets.
