Watts Matter's Lighting as a Service model enables governments, municipalities, and utilities to deploy city-scale or national street lighting systems with zero upfront capital investment. The project is financed through the energy and operational savings it generates — making modern, intelligent infrastructure accessible regardless of budget constraints.
Why governments choose this model
- No capital expenditure.
- Full performance accountability.
- Guaranteed savings.
- And a partner whose return depends entirely on the system delivering results.
How it works
We design, finance, install, and operate the lighting system. You pay a service fee structured around verified savings — typically well below your current energy and maintenance costs. At the end of the contract term, the infrastructure is yours.
Built for scale
From municipal street lighting networks to national infrastructure programs, this model has been deployed across multiple continents. It is particularly suited to emerging markets where energy access, grid reliability, and fiscal efficiency are national priorities.
