💡South Kesteven's green light dims as energy costs soar
A South Kesteven District Council's initiative to save energy and reduce costs through LED lighting has hit a stumbling block after escalating energy costs outpaced savings.
According to the report, the transition to LED lighting was initially expected to result in significant energy savings.SKDC, like many other organisations, has seen a substantial rise in utility costs. "Therefore, the original expectations of reinvesting savings from reduced electricity use can no longer be met, as the increased cost of energy has outpaced the savings made through reduction," said the report.
However, the report added:"Currently there is no agreed standalone budget for upgrading the streetlights to LED, beyond an existing fund for reactive maintenance of broken lights."
