PROGRESS ELECTRIC

Municipal & Public Works Electrical Services

Progress Electric partners with cities, counties, and public works departments to provide dependable, code-compliant electrical services for municipal infrastructure. Based in Battle Ground, WA, we have the experience and capacity to handle a wide range of civic projects—from street lighting and traffic signal wiring to EV charging stations, generator installations, and park facilities. Our team works seamlessly with public sector project managers, engineering firms, and contractors to ensure efficient installations, long-term reliability, and smooth integration with existing infrastructure. We’re committed to helping local governments build safer, smarter, and more energy-efficient communities.

Street Lighting, Traffic Signals & Public Safety Systems

Progress Electric installs and maintains street lighting systems, traffic signals, and intersection safety equipment across city streets and public roadways. We handle everything from underground conduit installation and pole wiring to LED upgrades and control cabinet integration. Our work improves visibility, enhances pedestrian safety, and reduces municipal energy costs. We also provide emergency response services for damaged lighting or signal systems—ensuring public infrastructure stays functional and safe at all times.

Parks, Recreation & Outdoor Public Spaces

City parks, sports fields, and recreational facilities require thoughtful electrical design to support safety and usability. We provide electrical wiring for pavilions, restroom buildings, irrigation controls, security lighting, and playground equipment. Our team ensures that systems are vandal-resistant, weatherproof, and built to handle public use. We also perform maintenance and upgrades to older park infrastructure to bring it up to current codes and improve energy efficiency.

Electrical Services for City Buildings & Community Centers

We support the electrical needs of libraries, community centers, fire departments, and other municipal buildings with comprehensive service panel upgrades, emergency backup generator installations, lighting retrofits, and technology wiring. Whether it's a new community facility or an upgrade to a historic building, we ensure electrical systems are modern, efficient, and built to serve the evolving needs of the public. Our work is always coordinated with city timelines, permitting requirements, and inspection schedules to keep public projects moving forward without delays.

EV Charging Stations & Solar-Ready Electrical Infrastructure

As cities adopt clean energy initiatives, Progress Electric provides electrical infrastructure for EV charging stations and solar-ready power systems. We install public-use chargers in parking lots, civic buildings, and transit hubs with the capacity and scalability to grow alongside community demand. For municipalities planning solar panel installations in the future, we prepare electrical systems to be compatible—helping reduce costs and simplify future upgrades. These forward-thinking solutions support long-term sustainability goals while improving public access to green technologies.

Clark County Municipal Savings Through LED Streetlight Upgrades

Several Clark County cities—including Battle Ground, Ridgefield, and Washougal—undertook major streetlight retrofit projects, replacing outdated high-pressure sodium fixtures with modern LEDs. In Battle Ground alone, the City converted approximately 2,300 street lights using a combination of a state grant and utility incentives totaling around $530,000. These LED fixtures consume nearly 50% less energy and require less maintenance, allowing the city to reduce its annual energy and upkeep costs by about $68,000—$53,000 in electricity savings and $15,000 in maintenance. The energy savings are being applied to repay the low-interest loan and build a reserve fund for future lighting projects.
