He also informed that these street lights have covered 2.7\nlakh kilometers. By March 2020, SLNP aims to replace 1.34 crore conventional\nstreet lights in India with smart LEDs. This will make a tremendous difference,\nenabling peak demand reduction of about 1,500 MW, annual energy savings of 9\nbillion kWh, and reduction in 6.2 Million tonnes of CO2 per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The EESL is planning to bring Rs 8,000 crore investment by\n2024 to cover entire rural India in next 4-5 years. It is expected that more\nthan 30 million LED street lights will be retrofitted\/installed by EESL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under SLNP, Andhra Pradesh is leading the way among the\nstates, with an installation of 28.9 lakhs LED street lights followed by\nRajasthan and Uttar Pradesh with 10.3 lakhs and 9.3 lakhs, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As on date, 1,502 urban local bodies (ULBs) across India\nhave been enrolled under the programme and out of these ULBs, work has been\ncompleted in around 900 such bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To bring large scale transformation, EESL adopted\nPay-As-You-Save (PAYS) model, where it makes the entire upfront investment in\ninstallation of LED street lights and no additional budget allocation from the\nmunicipalities is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The contract with the municipalities\/ULBs is for a period of\n7 years. The seven-year contract with the local bodies guarantees a minimum\nenergy saving of typically 50 per cent and provides free replacements and\nmaintenance of lights at no additional cost to the civic partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The municipalities pay EESL from their savings in energy and\nmaintenance cost over a seven-year period, making the LED lights affordable and\naccessible. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
