Challenge – Reducing Carbon & Street Lighting Costs

We’re looking for Local Authorities with a suitable highway location where SolarLite could help address:

• Could active road studs provide an alternative or complementary approach to conventional street lighting?
• Perhaps you have a location where street lighting is costly to operate, due for renewal, or where you’re looking to reduce energy use, carbon and associated costs while maintaining effective road delineation.

Tell us about the location, the challenge and what you’d like to achieve by taking a different approach.

The organisation or partnership must provide answer the following:

• Where is the location? The road, junction, roundabout or specific site.
• What’s the problem? A brief description of the highways challenge you would like SolarLite to help address.

Tips:

The judges are looking for applications that explain the issue, why it matters and why the location has been identified.

Eligibility:

Local authorities can submit more than one application, provided each application relates to a different location.

Applications are open to all UK (England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland) local authorities and highways authorities with responsibility for the highway or location proposed within their submission.

Submission deadline:

5pm, Monday 30th November 2026.

If you require assistance with uploading your submission, please email info@lcrig.org.uk or call 01254 945250.

Full details of the offer, responsibilities and programme requirements are set out in the Challenge Terms & Conditions.
