Managing and maintaining Coventry’s street lighting service

Working in partnership with Coventry City Council to provide an efficient, reliable, and safe network.

Coventry LED project.

We’re supporting the delivery of a £9 million programme to upgrade 28,847 streetlights across Coventry to energy-efficient LED technology. The citywide project began in November 2025 and is expected to take approximately two years to complete.

In October 2010, Balfour Beatty Living Places was awarded a 25-year street lighting PFI partnership by Coventry City Council.

Over the first five years, we replaced and upgraded all of the street lights across the city, creating a more sustainable network by reducing energy usage by 50%, minimising light pollution, improving response times, and reducing the overall number of street lights by 10%, helping to save 3,000 tonnes of carbon emissions each year.
