FirstEnergy is upgrading city streetlights in Morgantown using LED technology to reduce energy consumption and lower maintenance costs. The project began with replacing failed lights, and a new phase started proactively replacing fixtures along Greenbag Road and Don Knotss Boulevard. The company plans to replace 1,200 lights by the end of December, with each new 50-watt LED fixture costing about $500.
