THE PATH TO A SAFER NASHVILLE
BEGINS HERE.
Nashville Electric Service (NES) and Metro have partnered with Tennessee-based Path Company to retrofit over 55,000 streetlights across the Music City metropolitan area.
This multi-phase project will take place over the next several years, and will provide Nashvillians with brighter and safer roadways in alignment with the City’s Vision Zero initiative.
The project is currently underway with over 23,000 lights already converted to LED. The project will continue through 2025 and beyond and will result in a complete conversion of all of public streetlights within Metro’s boundaries.
This project includes the conversion of all public streetlights within the Nashville Metropolitan Area. The retrofit will not include security and private lighting.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
PROJECT PHASES
Conversions began in the northern half of Metropolitan Nashville, with progress flowing clockwise throughout project phases. This progress follows the workflow of system audits currently being undertaken by NES so as to maintain the accuracy and efficiency of the conversion project itself with a priority on each Vision Zero roadway in the project phase. Additionally, NES has converted all of the high mast lights (commonly found within and alongside highway interchanges) around the City to LED during the initial project phase. The current focus area for the project has cycled from the northern half of Metro clockwise to the Southeast; however, the project will be converting the lights in the downtown area and interstates in the coming months.
