The City of Johannesburg MMC for Environment and Infrastructure Services Michael Sun says City Power’s project to retrofit Johannesburg’s streetlights with LED technology is nearing its completion.
“The LED units that City Power is deploying, will on average save five times more energy than the old streetlight technology being replaced,” said Sun.
“Reducing pressure on our already strained network and conserving energy that will ultimately help to prevent outages.”
At the end of July, more than 2 000 LED streetlights have been fitted in areas across the city. The LED units conserve significant power as well as providing a pure white light that shines farther and assists security initiatives.
