I think they're talking overall consumption, not just street lights.
That consumers respond to an increase in energy efficiency and reduced
cost by increasing their consumption.
So the streetlights may lower the city's bill, but in general, the switch to LED lighting, won't keep COMED from having to add new generating capacity.
