Zhejiang promotes LED street lights to save 1.7 billion kWh of electricity by 2015

According to Zhang Yang, general manager of the State Grid Zhejiang Electric Power Academy of Energy Saving Service Co., Ltd., the promotion of LED street lights in Zhejiang Province, said, 'The lighting effect is not affected by LED street lights, but the energy-saving effect is very obvious.' He used numbers to prove: Tongxiang currently uses LED street lights in the renovation of street lights, saving more than 10,000 kWh of electricity annually and saving more than 10,000 yuan in electricity bills every year. There are a total of street lamps implementing energy-saving renovation in Jiaxing area, but the annual electricity saving exceeds 10,000 kWh.　　 According to reports, LED is a high-efficiency, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly fourth-generation light source technology. Under the premise of ensuring the same illuminance level, it can achieve an energy-saving rate of more than %, and the energy-saving effect of ordinary spotlights can even reach %. According to the reporter’s understanding, the previous lighting sources of Tongxiang’s urban expressways and arterial roads were mainly W high-pressure sodium lamps. Although they have high brightness, they consume a lot of electricity and need to be replaced every year. The maintenance and replacement costs are high; however, LED street lights are used instead, and the brightness is high. Under the same condition, the power saving rate reaches more than %, and the service life of the LED street lamp is up to one year according to the existing design. The supplier has a one-year warranty and the repair rate is very low.　　 According to calculations, although the difference in operating costs between the two is not obvious, there is less work in maintenance and an obvious advantage in saving electricity. According to the plan, Zhejiang Province will widely promote the use of LED lighting products in roads, public places, government agencies, state-owned enterprises and institutions and other financial or state-owned capital investment and construction of lighting projects, and at the same time accelerate the promotion of non-public lighting Control targets for total energy consumption and electricity consumption during the five-year period. The reporter learned that through the application of energy-saving lighting products, by the year, we will strive to promote the province's green lighting to achieve energy saving of 10,000 tons of standard coal, which is equivalent to saving about 100 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, which is equivalent to the monthly electricity consumption of ordinary urban households. Enough electricity for ten thousand households for a year.
