City of Devine Announces Partnership with AEP to Upgrade Street Lights to Energy-Efficient LEDs
In the next couple of weeks, across the city of Devine, you will see AEP service trucks changing out all old streetlight fixtures. The City of Devine is proud to announce Operation GET LIT!!, a new partnership with American Electric Power (AEP) to replace streetlights throughout the city with energy-efficient LED lighting.
This important upgrade is part of the City’s ongoing commitment to improving quality of life for our residents. By installing brighter, more efficient LED lighting, Devine will enhance public safety, improve visibility along city streets and in neighborhoods, and create a brighter environment for drivers, pedestrians, and families.
Beyond improving safety, this project will also deliver meaningful energy savings for the City. Traditional lighting uses far more electricity to produce the same amount of light as LED fixtures. LED lights are designed to use significantly less energy while providing brighter, more reliable illumination. That means the City can reduce overall electricity consumption, lower utility costs over time, and make better use of public resources.
LED lights also last much longer than older lighting types, which means fewer replacements and reduced maintenance costs.
I’m excited about this new initiative, states City Administrator David Jordan, With lower energy use, longer life, and improved performance, this upgrade is both a smart financial decision and a sustainable investment in Devine’s future.
The City of Devine appreciates its partnership with AEP in helping to bring these improvements to our community. Together, we are building a safer, brighter, and more energy-efficient future for Devine.
