The County of Brant, in collaboration with Brant Municipal Enterprises, is excited to share that it has replaced a number of streetlights in the Highland Estates neighbourhood with new off-grid street lighting. This enhancement aligns with the County’s commitment to carbon-neutral initiatives and provides a more cost-effective solution compared to replacing outdated underground wiring There are several benefits to this lighting:

• Lowers environmental impact and achieves carbon-neutral goals

• Anti-glare lighting improves street coverage for a more comfortable experience

• Increases safety and security

• Low maintenance and durable

• Reliable and provides up to five (5) days of illumination without sunlight

• Ensures dusk-to-dawn lighting all year round

• DarkSky compliant

With the completion of this project, the County of Brant is poised to become a trailblazing municipality, boasting one of Canada's most extensive networks of off-grid street lighting!
