Soon Smart City Vizag hopes to see the last of streetlights blazing away way after the sun has risen in the sky or dark streets post sunset with the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) all set to install a central control and monitoring system (CCMS) to cut down on power wastage in the street lighting system. The system will be set up by Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL), a joint venture between public sector undertakings of the Union power ministry, and monitored by the AP State Energy Conservation Mission (APSECM).

The CCMS is the first of its kind to be used in monitoring the street lighting system of any civic body in the country. With the CCMS, all the streetlights would be switched on and off at the flick of a single switch. The sunrise and sunset timings would be fed into the system to operate streetlights in order to prevent energy wastage. Nearly 76,000 sodium vapour lamps in streetlights out of the total 91,775 in GVMC limits have been replaced by LED lamps.
EESL will be solely responsible for running the LED streetlights over the next seven years. This way it will be possible to conserve nearly 2.43 crore units per annum as against the average annual energy consumption of 3.92 crore units by the old street lighting system of Smart city Vizag.
Nearly 1200 LED lights out of 1300 LED lights that were not functioning properly were repaired. The initiative to install LED lights at Smart city Vizag was taken up by the state government to prevent power wastage.
