ESCO Project for LED upgrades of Kure City Roads and Parks Lighting InstallationsKure City, Hiroshima Prefecture
Contributing towards creating a pleasant and secure townscape through an ESCO financed LED upgrade project
Add to My ListWith the implementation of an ESCO scheme, the entirety of the roads and parks lighting stock managed by the city of Kure underwent a program of LED upgrade works in March 2023. Following an impartial review process, Iwasaki Electric Co., Ltd. was selected as the representative company for the project, being entrusted to deliver an all-encompassing service including the upgrade to LED of all facilities within scope of the agreement, changing of energy contracts, establishment of management systems and the data management thereof, maintenance and investigation works, and verification of energy saving benefits, over a contract of 15 years. The LED upgrade works were implemented to maintain the existing illuminance levels provided by the previous installation whilst delivering wide scale energy savings through more lightweight and compact installations. With consideration for security and the minimization of light pollution being a given, the key considerations in creating a coordinated lighting environment across the entire project to accentuate the beauty of Kure City included keeping the scenery that makes it a conservation area and effectively reusing the existing installations. With a total of 7408 luminaires across the roads and parks of the city being updated to LED in a single project phase, energy consumption has been reduced by approximately 80%, with an expected reduction in annual CO₂ reductions of 1734 tons.
The implementation of a centralized lighting management system has also made maintenance and management of the installations markedly more efficient, as any issues or malfunctions can be recognized and swiftly responded to through coordination of the administration number and contact details recorded on the column of each road and park luminaire. Updating to LED light which promotes energy savings and has a gentler impact upon its environment, the aim was to create a safe and bright setting befitting of a place like Kure City.
* Energy Service Companies (abbr. ESCO) are enterprises that implement projects to reduce energy costs, covering the costs of the renovation works from within the savings achieved.
