138 Upgrading of Fluorescent Street Lighting to LED PDF 81 KB
Report of the Strategic Director of Regeneration and Environment
Cabinet Member: Councillor Hoddinott
Commissioner: Ney (in advisory role)
Recommendations:-
1. That the remaining 15,000 fluorescent street lighting units across the Rotherham Borough be replaced with LED lanterns in accordance with Option Two of this report.
2. That Council be recommended to approve inclusion of the scheme in the Council’s Capital Programme at a cost of £1.65m, to be funded by prudential borrowing, as an invest to save scheme.
3. That it be noted that the previously estimated savings of £138,000 to be achieved from this project (EDS24c & EDS 24e) will not be achieved in full and the shortfall will be found from within Directorate budgets.
Minutes:
Consideration was given to the report which sought approval to replace 15,000 fluorescent street lighting units with LED lighting technology.
The programme would complete the street lighting unit renewal with an invest to save initiative. Replacement of fluorescent units would reduce the street lighting energy consumption.
However, it was noted that the realisation of these savings would not be achievable in full due to increased changes in the energy market. However, the shortfall will be found from within Directorate budgets.
