Case Study: City of Chicago achieves $10M+ annual savings with TerraGo StreetlightOps

City of Chicago saves over $10 million a year with TerraGo streetlight ops

The City of Chicago faced the immense challenge of deploying over 270,000 networked LED streetlights, the world's largest city-led project of its kind. They needed to integrate new operations across their lighting CMS, billing, 311, and GIS platforms while managing the underlying electrical circuits and eliminating inefficient, paper-based maintenance processes. To meet this challenge, the city turned to TerraGo and its StreetlightOps platform.

TerraGo's solution integrated the city's disparate systems, providing a mobile application for field crews and automating work order management. This eliminated paper forms, reduced truck rolls, and consolidated service tickets. The implementation helped the City of Chicago install over 251,000 lights on schedule, achieving over $10 million in annual energy savings while dramatically improving operational efficiency and outage response times.
