How much will Westbrook likely save when it upgrades to LED streetlight fixtures?

The project is expected to save Westbrook approximately $70,000 in the first twelve months after all the LEDs are installed and likely more over time as Eversource’s rates rise. The Town’s street lighting bills increased by 43% between Fiscal Years 2013 and 2016 and totaled nearly $89,000 in FY 2017.
