Houston<\/strong>: In 2014, Houston partnered with CenterPoint Energy to convert approximately 165,000 streetlights to LED technology<\/a>. This initiative aimed to reduce the city’s street light electricity usage by about 50%, saving over $1.4 million annually in electricity costs and decreasing municipal greenhouse gas emissions by 5%. <\/span><\/p>\n
