Summerside Electric provides most of the lighting for streets and other public areas within the City. Currently, our standard is 40W LED lighting on local streets, with 80W LED lights at many intersections. and for collector streets that standard is one per pole. In an effort to reduce our carbon footprint, we have replaced over 4000 HPS lights with LEDs.
Let us Know About Broken Street & Traffic Lights
We try to keep a close eye on all City lighting; however, we encourage residents to please let us know if you spot a street light that isn't working or is damaged.
You can complete the online form to report any issues or contact our office. It would help us greatly if you could provide exact details of where the light is. The best information to provide is the pole number, but if that is unavailable then the nearest civic address would assist our team in locating the right light.

In addition to street lighting, Summerside Electric also provides outdoor area lighting services to customers. Anyone who is interested can submit a request and arrangements will be made to have an Engineer review the request. The Engineer will ensure the current infrastructure will support the additional street light(s). Upon the Engineers approval, the customer will be contacted to arrange for installation and payment agreement. The rates for this service can be found in Section N-31 of the Rates, Schedule, and Policy Manual.
