Dublin City Council has announced that it has begun work on upgrading the city’s public lighting infrastructure.
The project, which has been many years in development, involves the replacement of up to 40,000 lights with energy efficient LED equivalents. The council will also replace significant amounts of public lighting legacy cabling.
The Council also plans to provide a Central Management System (CMS) to remotely monitor, control and manage all street lights. A spokesperson for Dublin City Council said: "The completed project will yield in the order of 50 per cent energy reduction from the baseline, resulting is a saving of 9GWh of electricity or 2,500 tonnes in CO2, annually.
