Streetlights and other powered infrastructure locations & energy usage including 3rd party equipment utilising them
See notes
I would like to enquire about the following information relating to street light location data for council assets and any or sub-districts within your area.
1. Please could you provide me with the street lighting location data for your area, preferably in a shapefile or other well-known formats so that these can be plotted..
I was unable to find this online for your county, borough or district, but it is available for other boroughs such as Camden (https://opendata.camden.gov.uk/Environme...) and Sutton.
Please see attached spreadsheet for unit locations (coordinates given as Easting/Northing)
2. Please could you also provide:
• The locations of streetlights or other powered infrastructure such as illuminated road signs et al in a commonly used format such as CSV and include the geospatial detail of latitude and longitude or similar: Please see attached spreadsheet for unit locations (coordinates given as Easting/Northing)
• An indication if any external 3rd parties are utilising this infrastructure within Elexon guidelines or otherwise: Yes there is a small number of 3rd party electrical units mounted on our lamp columns (e.g. Police ANPR cameras).
• How many streetlights have been changed to LEDs: Please see attached spreadsheet (column labelled “Lamp Type”)
• The annual cost for running the streetlights: During 2022/23 the full year electrical energy cost for all electrical units (including illuminated signs, traffic signals, bollards, etc) was £899,332 plus other costs such as meter administration (excludes maintenance/repair costs).
