Town of Avon Currently Converting Hundreds of Town Streetlights to LEDs

The Town of Avon (MA) is in the process of converting the Town of Avon’s streetlights to LED.

In conjunction with National Grid, the Town is currently converting hundreds of streetlights to more cost-effective, energy-efficient LEDs. The conversion began last month and is expected to be completed by early fall, depending on weather conditions. The end result will be a potential savings of $15,000-$20,000 per year on lighting costs.

The town will also be taking advantage of a one-time incentive payment for conversion of about $30,000-$40,000, which several other South Shore communities have done recently as part of their conversion projects.

As part of the conversion, National Grid will retain ownership of the streetlights. Residents should still go to National Grid to report outages in the streetlights.
