Delta, after being awarded the energy-efficient streetlight replacement and maintenance private finance initiative (PFI) project in northern New Taipei City in 2014, has again been awarded the 10-year phase two project in the same districts, which has commenced in October this year. More than 110K units of streetlights will be replaced, which is expected to save approximately NTD150 million in electricity expenditure within ten years. In the project, 8,500 units of streetlights will be upgraded with network connecting functions, and some have smart pole designs that can be expanded to allow multiple applications, establishing sound infrastructure for the development of a smart city. 

Mr. Bill Lo, General Manager of Delta's Building Automation Business Group, said “we're very pleased that after completing six years of service in the previous phase, Delta's product quality and project management capabilities have been recognized, and that we can once again provide our service to the New Taipei City Government and its citizens for the next ten years. With the integration of IoT devices and ICT, these streetlights are able to provide many innovative value-added services other than illumination, such as surveillance cameras, charging piles, micro-weather stations, signs, and interactive touch screens, allowing streetlights to become important nodes for data transmission and reception in the smart city. We believe that our LED Smart Streetlight Solutions can lay the good foundations for building a smart city."
