Proven Delivery Models for LED Public Lighting: Joint Procurement Delivery Model Case Study Ontario, Canada

The Province of Ontario, in east-central Canada, consists of 444 municipalities and represents 13.6 million residents, or more than one-third of Canada’s population. Roughly two-thirds of these municipalities are small, containing fewer than 10,000 residents and fewer than 2,500 streetlights (luminaires); about 100 of the municipalities are mid-sized; and 41 are large municipalities of 50,000 residents or more.

Proven Delivery Models for LED Public Lighting: Guadalajara, Mexico Lease-to-Own Delivery Model Case Study

Guadalajara, with a population of approximately 1.5 million, is the fourth largest city in Mexico and is located in the country’s central Pacific region. Until the implementation of the current street lighting retrofit project, the city’s outdated street lighting infrastructure had not been renovated in over 30 years. Lighting crews could not keep up with outages reported by citizens, and there were many unlit areas around the city. This coincided with increasing crime rates, leading to an overall lack of safety in the city.

Proven Delivery Models for LED Public Lighting

This synthesis report summarizes the cross-cutting findings from the six case studies, which document real-life experiences, challenges, and solutions encountered in implementing different LED lighting delivery models—ESCO, super-ESCO, joint procurement, public-private partnership, lease-to-own, and municipal financing. Crosscutting findings include various key roles played by governments, ranging from setting policies that support LED lighting programs to establishing an ESCO with a mandate to implement energy efficient programs while transforming the market.

Investing in a brighter future: PPP street lighting projects

Switching from outdated systems to modern technology is a win-win solution for many municipalities worldwide, but high upfront costs can be a deterrent. Attracting private capital via Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) can help municipalities raise the funds needed to implement clever street lighting systems that secure efficiency and high technical standards in the long run.
