Thanks Western Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils (WSROC) for demonstrating the significant safety, environmental and saving benefits from the rollout of modern high-tech LED streetlights across Greater Western Sydney.

In the Australian Local Government Infrastructure Yearbook, WSROC president Cr Barry Calvert reveals that LED streetlight upgrades delivered by Endeavour Energy have saved ratepayers millions of dollars – and massively reduced carbon emissions – as part of their Western Sydney Energy Program.

Clr Calvert says ‘‘By June next year, more than 100,000 streetlights will have been changed to LEDs. That alone saves $16.2 million in estimated regional energy costs annually and reduces carbon emissions by 71,378 tonnes. Residents also benefit from brighter, more reliable and higher-quality street lighting, and improved public safety.’
