St. Vincent Electricity Services Limited (VINLEC) is currently engaged in a project that will see the installation of LED streetlights as a replacement for the High pressure sodium (HPS) and Mercury Vapour Lamps that are on VINLEC’s Transmission and Distribution Network.

This is one component of a national project that is intended to address energy matters with a view to improve energy efficiency, increase the penetration of renewable energy generation, and reduce the harmful impact of the burning of fossil fuel for the production of electricity.

The new LED light fixtures will help to reduce the energy consumption of streetlights, reduce the carbon emissions associated with HPS and Mercury Vapour Lamps, reduce the maintenance requirements associated with streetlighting and maintain or enhance the lighting quality on the roadway. Additionally, the Government should see a reduction of approximately 35-40 percent in energy consumption on its streetlight account.  The latter should result in a reduction in the operating cost of streetlights to the Government.
