# Los Angeles Expands Solar Streetlight Program

The City of Los Angeles is advancing a two-year initiative to repair or replace up to 60,000 citywide street lights, with solar technology central to the effort. Nearly 5,000 solar lights have been installed, and the city expects the total to reach nearly 6,500 by the end of 2026. No active solicitation, contract value, or procurement contact is identified, but the scale of the work points to potential demand for solar street-light equipment, installation, and related services.

- Companies supplying solar lighting, street-light components, or installation services can use the initiative’s scale to assess their fit for potential future municipal procurement opportunities.
- The citywide, two-year scope may be relevant to contractors planning capacity for equipment delivery, installation, and replacement work.
- The source identifies no open bid or submission deadline; interested firms should consult City of Los Angeles procurement announcements for specific opportunities.
