Vijayawada: The Andhra Pradesh government is set to roll out an Integrated Smart LED Street Lighting Project across all 123 urban local bodies (ULBs), replacing nearly 10.5 lakh conventional street lights with smart LEDs linked to a statewide Centralised Control and Monitoring System. The project will cover 7.5 lakh street lights in the initial phase and another three lakh under the extended scope. Officials said the initial 7.5 lakh smart LEDs were expected to save around 19.57 million units of electricity annually and reduce consumption by nearly 20 per cent. The project is being taken up as a next-generation version of the Street Lighting National Programme (SLNP), under which EESL has replaced more than 1.3 crore conventional lights across the country. Dixit assured that EESL would complete the project within the stipulated timeline and work towards making Andhra Pradesh a national model for smart and energy-efficient urban lighting.
