City of Oshawa, Ontario

In 2016, the City of Oshawa determined that it was prepared to undergo an upgrade of its streetlight system to energy-efficient, light-emitting diode (LED) streetlights that would significantly reduce energy and maintenance costs, and provide a smarter, environmentally- friendly lighting system. The City also recognized that this would be an ideal project in which to collaborate with its utility, Oshawa Power and Utilities Corporation (OPUC), to assist in the implementation.

Success!

Testimonials

Met or Exceeded All Our Criteria

For us, RealTerm Energy met or exceeded all our criteria. They were timely in responding to issues, helpful in guiding us through the entire process, and very receptive and responsive to concerns on our part. They even removed some streets (from the project scope of work) that weren’t public roadways, which we only discovered during their GIS audit. RTE offered great product evaluation services and informed advice on which product was best for us. We are more than happy to offer this reference.

Town of Tewksbury, Massachusetts

Responsive, Accommodating and Innovative

At all times RealTerm Energy has been responsive, accommodating and innovative in meeting our needs. I am pleased to offer my recommendation of Real Term Energy for similar work and would readily work with them again in the future.

It’s Silly Not To Do This

We’re saving crazy amounts of money. It’s silly not to do [an LED streetlight conversion project with RTE.]

Bruce Tucker, Mayor
Village of Piermont, NY

Made Things Easy for All of Us

Several things stand out about RealTerm Energy and our interaction with them. They worked collaboratively with a large and diverse group of municipalities, which demonstrated they could handle projects of varying scope. Regardless of the community size or project, they conducted themselves with the same level of professionalism. They made things easy for all of us. They were extremely responsive from beginning to end and most importantly, they delivered on everything they promised. RealTerm Energy is truly a professional organization.

City of Caribou, Maine

Ideated and Designed A Custom Alternative Solution

RealTerm ideated and designed a custom alternative solution that benefitted both the charging needs as well as the town aesthetic. By mounting the chargers on poles, rather than being a free-standing solution, they are out of the way of snow plows and don’t interfere with the architecture of Rumford’s downtown.

George O’Keefe, Economic Development Director
Rumford, Maine

A Complete Turnkey Solution

RealTerm Energy provided us with a complete turnkey solution and committed to delivering this project on budget and on schedule to our complete satisfaction. RealTerm’s extensive experience and expertise have ensured the project’s success. We look forward to being kinder to the environment in an economically savvy way.

Reduced Operating Costs and Greenhouse Gas Emissions

We are very pleased that we have taken on the management of all of our streetlights and completed the conversion of our cobraheads and decorative fixtures in the project with RealTerm. We’re saving money through reduced operating costs and reducing greenhouse gas emissions– and as an extra perk–we received recognition and a grant award from NYSERDA for the accomplishment.

Yield Returns for Years to Come

RealTerm Energy and the City of Niagara Falls have been working together for the last several years on our LED street lighting retrofit initiative. At the end of the first phase in 2018 they successfully completed a retrofit of 8,370 individual fixtures. This has led to significant savings on our energy and maintenance costs across the City and will yield returns for many years to come.

Made Economic Sense

Made economic sense to own {the streetlights} instead of paying high rent to the utility.

Mike Sweeton, Supervisor
Town of Warwick, NY

The City’s Trusted Advisor and Ally

I wanted to reach out and pass along my sincere appreciation for a job truly well done by the RealTerm team on the City’s recent streetlight and smart controls upgrade. We truly found the RealTerm team to be the City’s trusted advisor and ally throughout the project. RealTerm did a wonderful job representing the City’s best interests while delivering friendly, timely, and high-quality services. There were some challenges and unexpected obstacles encountered on the project, which is helping the City overcome seamlessly and further accentuated RealTerm’s strengths. City staff involved in the project all share my views, and RealTerm has set a bar of service that we will come to expect in future projects. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication on the project, I am hopeful we will have an opportunity to work together again.
