Upgrading of Council-owned streetlights to LED to enable financial and carbon savings

22/03/2023 - Upgrading of Council-owned streetlights to LED to enable financial and carbon savings

Resolved:

 

That an investment of £442,000 from the Net Zero Fund to upgrade streetlights under West Suffolk Council ownership to LED, including the proposal to dim the lights by 75 percent (to match the level of Suffolk County Council owned lights), be approved.

 

This would create a saving of 82.25 tonnes carbon by reducing the overall electricity consumption, and a budget saving after borrowing costs of just under £14,000.
