PUBLIC LIGHTING
Trans Tasman Energy Group works with councils, transport authorities and government bodies Australia wide to reduce their public lighting spend.
We specialise in negotiating with monopoly electricity distribution suppliers such as Powercor, SP AusNet, Ergon, Essential Energy, ETSA and CitiPower to obtain the most competitive prices for street lighting.
We have a strong track record of designing public lighting solutions to meet clients’ needs, and can create a customised solution to reduce your public lighting costs. In addition to delivering low cost solutions, we can assist you with environmental and greenhouse considerations, asset management, service agreements and analysis of traffic signal costs.
