Report ES14071
In November 2012, it was agreed that £8.507m could be drawn down from the Invest to Save Fund to allow the replacement of 7,902 lamp columns and 11,902 lanterns, including the installation of a Central Management System (CMS) to facilitate remote control of lighting levels and reduce night time inspections.
It has since been identified that fewer “at risk” steel columns require replacement, so reducing projected column replacements to 6,748 and reducing the number of lanterns needing replacement by 1,154. A remaining balance of £1.2m could then be used to replace more lanterns and increase the level of energy savings. It was proposed that the number of lantern replacements would increase to 14,377, providing additional energy savings of £46k per annum. There would also be carbon allowance savings of £5k per annum.
RESOLVED that the Executive be recommended to approve the proposed amendment to the street lighting Invest to Save project, namely to replace fewer lamp columns and instead convert more lanterns as set out at paragraphs 3.18 to 3.20 of Report ES14071.
