A major programme to upgrade approximately 64,000 streetlights to energy‑efficient LED technology is due to begin in West Sussex.

The £24 million programme, which begins this month, will take place over the next 4 years.

It will also introduce a new Remote Monitoring System, enabling improved management of street-lighting performance, quicker fault detection and reduced maintenance requirements.

It is expected to reduce annual energy consumption by more than 10.7 million kWh, cut carbon emissions by around 1,633 tonnes of CO₂ and generate significant financial savings.
