The borough’s adoption of solar-powered lighting solutions aims to reduce its environmental impact while also lowering energy costs

Leeds City Council has announced the successful completion of its LED lighting scheme, aimed at enhancing energy efficiency in street lighting citywide, resulting in substantial cost savings and carbon reductions

A new study has revealed which cities have invested the most in LED streetlighting

An estimated 30,000 LED units are predicted to reduce the region’s energy consumption by 8%

The switch to LED street lighting is expected to eliminate almost 12,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide and save Hertfordshire’s taxpayers around £5m a year

The technology is expected to pay for itself in reduced energy and maintenance costs

The solar street lighting market is forecast to grow to $17.78 billion (£12bn) by 2024. That’s an increase from $2.72 billion (£1.8bn) last year, a new report suggests.
