Croydon Streetlight LED Upgrade
Croydon Council is upgrading streetlights to LED technology to reduce carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency.
The project to upgrade Croydon's streetlights to LED technology was scheduled to begin in August 2026, pending legal sign-off, according to a report presented to the Croydon & Lewisham Street Lighting Joint Committee in November 2025. This initiative aims to reduce carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency.
Financial discussions have been held with Croydon Council, which agreed to fund the upgrade. The Joint Committee reviewed the performance of the current street lighting Private Finance Initiative and discussed proposed LED lantern replacements in November 2025. No further meetings or decisions regarding this upgrade have been announced.
