The Nottingham Street Lighting PFI service began in 2010 and comprised a five year construction phase where 27,000 street lighting and associated highway illuminated signage were replaced, and an ongoing management and maintenance service of 40,000 highway assets.

During the construction phase, a central management system (CMS) was installed to enable control and monitoring of the assets from a desktop to a lamp top. The CMS monitors the assets and reports energy consumption and faults to an asset management system. It also has the facility to dim and trim (set the switching times) of the lights.

The project utilises the asset management system for planned and reactive maintenance, asset condition and reporting on service performance.

EMS supported the lantern LED refurbishment resulting in 27% energy and 29% carbon emissions savings on the project.

The project also includes festive lighting and a five year construction phase from 2030 where 3,400 street lights and associated highway illuminated signs are to be replaced.
