Innovation is a core value at Cleveland Public Power and the utility works to increase efficiency and service delivery with innovative programs. Some of the technology enhancements we are actively utilizing and researching will improve our response to outages as well as the delivery of service to our customers.
LED Streetlight Installation
As part of the City of Cleveland's Safe Smart CLE initiative, Cleveland Public Power will replace its existing streetlight inventory with new energy-efficient LED technology including adaptive control photocells. The project will not only improve the quality of light throughout the City but will also help lower its carbon footprint, providing improved health and safety for our citizens. To watch the progress of this project and learn more, visit the LED Streetlight Installation page.
