The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Government said it is seeking proposals for the management of Canberra city’s 79,000 streetlights to improve cost and energy efficiencies.

The city wants to not only save energy and money, but to use the network of lights for so-called ‘smart city’ applications, such as a public wi-fi network.

A request for proposal is open until 6 October, according to a government notice.

The model for maintaining Canberra’s publicly-owned streetlight network was developed in consultation with industry during the Request for Expressions of Interest process in November last year.

The ACT Government owns and manages one of the nation’s largest portfolios of 79,000 lights on streets, footpaths, arterial roads and in public parks and open spaces around Canberra.

The chosen street lighting provider will manage all streetlights, including operations, maintenance and electricity supply. It will also implement an energy efficiency upgrade that delivers guaranteed energy savings to the ACT as well as create a flexible “smart city backbone”.

This backbone will support services such as smart parking, traffic management and environmental monitoring, which can help make our city more liveable, productive and sustainable, the government said.

  • Less damage for a low cost with SKF’s new development
    January 6, 2017
    More machines, both mobile and stationary, are using centralised lubrication which helps to ensure that all points receive the required amount of lubrication, as lack of it could result in expensive bearing damage. Escaping lubricant can have a significant negative impact on the environment, and can also incur expensive clean-up and disposal costs. SKF has developed the Lincoln Hose Connection Control, which can be operated between -50 to +70 OC, this unit shows immediately and reliably when damage occurs.
