Abstract The purpose of this invention is to generate electricity for street lights by utilizing the Enhanced Geothermal System well-pipe heat to avoid the utilization of non-renewable energy sources and provide considerable energy savings for city municipalities and a lower rate of maintenance. Geothermal energy powered street lights will also provide an added advantage over solar street lights as they will be able to light up independently of the weather and will not require the sun.
