About us

July 2011 saw the start of the 25 year Street Lighting PFI partnership between Cambridgeshire County Council and Balfour Beatty.

The first five years of this partnership involves the upgrade of the County Council’s streetlights using the latest technology. This will provide essential energy savings, minimise light pollution and reduce the overall number of streetlights by approximately 10% across the County to provide a more sustainable system for the future.

For the remaining 20 years of the partnership Balfour Beatty will focus on maintaining and operating all of the county’s lights to a very high standard.
