Michigan Freeway Lighting Partners (MFLP) has maintained
their contractual commitment to install new lighting on the freeways in the Tri-County
area. Milestone 1 required that %90 of
new luminaries be installed and functioning as design within the first year
starting on November 24, 2015. We are
pleased to report that this milestone was finished one month earlier on October
18, 2016 resulting in 11,841 new lights being installed on our freeways. As of
January 1, 2017, this number has increased to 12,572. Milestone number 2 is to
substantially work towards the completion date of August 2017. This is a 13 year contract between MFLP and
MDOT to maintain the integrity of the lights.
The savings resulted in DTE presenting MDOT a $1 million dollar rebate
check as part of their business incentive program for efficient energy usage.
