1. The number of streetlights/streetlamps within the bounds of your local council.
Please see this response to a previous request.
2. The total cost of running said streetlights/streetlamps yearly (i.e., the electricity costs).
£2.621M
3. The total energy expenditure/Energy usage running said streetlights/streetlamps (I.e., Watt-Hours, Joules or another metric).
16M kilowatt-hours
4. From what organisation do you purchase the streetlights/streetlamps if they are a public traded company.
They are purchased through our term maintenance contract, SSE Contracting.
5. The maintenance costs of running the streetlights/streetlamps (i.e., the cost per year of repairs, maintenance, replacements etc).
This information is not held because since 2016 the maintenance costs have been offset by the ongoing LED replacement programme which will upgrade all of Devon County Council’s street light assets to LED by 2023.
6. The costs of purchasing 1 streetlight/streetlamp from the supplier. (This can be an approximation).
The cost (not including the column or brackets) varies from £100 to £900 for a new LED street light.
The initial phase that began in 2016 focused on replacing the high wattage units on main roads, and when completed the focus moved to replacing the lower wattage units in residential areas.
The general cost for supply only for a new led streetlight on a main road is around £550 and in a residential area is around £150.
