The City of Pickering converted over 7,000 streetlights to Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting through its conversion project. The new street lights consume less energy, have a longer lifetime and offer increased safety.
A $642,282.35 cheque was presented to the City from Veridian as part of the Save on Energy Rebate program. The City will also save $690,000 per year in combined electricity and maintenance costs.
