Vince Maione, region president of Atlantic City Electric, said: “Atlantic City Electric is committed to evaluating and, if appropriate, seeking regulatory approval for new energy-efficient technologies that have the potential to save our customers money, help the environment and improve customer satisfaction.”

Atlantic City Electric said it is launching the pilot project in Wenonah, Northfield, Hammonton and Ocean City, in an effort to give customers the opportunity to experience the lights in real-life situations and provide the company with their feedbacks.

Customer feedback, technical results of the pilot program, regulatory approval and the evolution of the technology as an economically viable replacement for mercury vapor and high-pressure sodium lighting will be the deciding factors for further installation of LED streetlights, the company said.
