Telensa Wins HEA Sustainable Project of the Year Award for Leicestershire County Council Streetlighting Project

Telensa is proud to be recognized for its innovative smart streetlighting solutions, delivering exceptional energy efficiency, sustainability, and community impact through our collaboration with Leicestershire County Council.

We are proud to announce that Telensa has been awarded the prestigious Sustainable Project of the Year at the HEA Annual Conference for our innovative work with Leicestershire County Council (LCC). This recognition highlights the transformative impact of our smart streetlighting solutions, enabling LCC to achieve significant energy savings while ensuring community safety and satisfaction.

The award-winning project saw the implementation of Telensa’s PLANet Central Management System (CMS), which revolutionized LCC’s approach to streetlighting. By introducing flexible, real-time lighting control and tailored dimming schedules based on traffic and area-specific needs, the project demonstrated an outstanding balance of sustainability, efficiency, and public benefit.

Telensa CEO, Andy Gowen, commented:
“This award is a testament to our commitment to delivering innovative and sustainable solutions that make a real difference. Partnering with Leicestershire County Council on this project has showcased the power of smart streetlighting to drive energy efficiency, cost savings, and positive community impact. We are honored to receive this recognition and look forward to continuing our journey toward more sustainable cities.”

Senior Engineer in Streetlighting from Leicestershire County Council, Tony Bull shared:
“Partnering with Telensa has transformed how we manage streetlighting across Leicestershire. The PLANet CMS has not only enabled us to meet our sustainability goals but also provided flexibility to respond to community needs, even in emergency situations. Winning this award is a proud moment for our council and a reflection of the strong collaboration with Telensa.”

This project stands as a shining example of how technology can deliver measurable sustainability outcomes while prioritizing community wellbeing.

We extend our gratitude to the HEA for this recognition and to everyone involved in bringing this impactful project to life. Stay tuned as we continue to innovate and deliver smart solutions for a brighter, more sustainable future.
