189 Siemens is partnering with the City of Huntington Beach, California, to engineer, install and maintain a new 11,000 energy efficient streetlight system. The technology features LED lighting that aims to reduce energy consumption by over 50 per cent and create clearer illumination to help reduce vehicular accidents and increase safety for city residents.

The new technology is predicted to result in a net savings of more than US$13 million over the 20-year streetlight life expectancy, achieve nearly 3.8 million kWh in annual energy savings and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2.4 million pounds per year.

The project is slated for completion by early 2018.
