EECBG Project 1: Energy Efficient Street Lights

The single largest energy expense for the Town of Huntington (TOH) is the cost to keep its Street Lights turned on during evening and nighttime hours.  It is for this reason that Huntington made Street Lighting is top EECBG block grant priority when seeking authorization from the United States Department of Energy (USDOE) for expenditure of grant funding.

Beginning in June 2010, Huntington began replacing its inventory of classic High Pressure Sodium (HPS) streetlights with high-efficiency Induction lighting lamp fixtures. Based on the exceedingly high return on investment (ROI) for this project Huntington received a second grant from the New York State Energy Research & Development Authority (NYSERDA) to expand the project and Huntington include matching funds in its Capital Budget
