Waste Issues Involved with a Street Lighting Changeover

© Ironbark Sustainability 2011!

•  2.28 million lights in Australia!•  Local roads over 70%!•  Majority are MV 80W!•  Eg, 330,000 MV 80 lights in Victoria!

The Numbers!


They’re Coming Down!

Recommendation for Councils

Street Lighting Efficiency and Contestability in Growth Area

Councils


The brief – investigate and report


The Process

• Surveys of Councils (6 growth area councils) • Targeted interviews

• MAV/CIC • GAA • DPCD • AER • 7 additional councils

• Ironbark experience and knowledge


What we found – Energy reduction priority

Established Councils 1. Bulk Change Standard lights

(60% of lights) 2. Efficiency program for off

street and decorative lighting (15% of lights)

3. Efficient policy and guidelines

Growth Area Councils 1. Efficient policy and guidelines 2. Bulk Change

a. Standard lights (30-50% of lights)

b. Decorative street lighting (25-50% of lights)

3. Efficiency program for off street lighting (10% of lights)


Energy reduction – policy and guidelines !

!Growth past 10 yrs 0.0% (Ausgrid) to 2.9%(CitiPower/Powercor)!!25-30,000 new lights pa. nationally!!Policy and guidelines!

1.  Provide guidance for lighting in streets (new installs and for replacement programs)!

2.  Performance criteria for lights and poles!

3.  The use of timers and other control devices!

4.  Installations in car parks, parks, sports facilities, pathways etc.!

Bulk change for decorative lighting – Replacement options

For residential streets the three most prevalent upgrade options involve: 1.Replacement with a side entry standard luminaire (where the pole allows) 2.The complete replacement of the decorative luminaire with a 42-Watt Compact Fluorescent version that is aesthetically similar/identical 3.The ‘retrofitting’ of the current luminaire with new internal components that allow it to be fitted with a 42W Compact Fluorescent lamp

Currently 23% of decorative lighting types can be retrofitted

This will change


Bulk change for decorative lighting – Process

1. Business Case (may include some mapping) • Approx costs - $250-600 retrofit, $700-1200 replacement

2. Funding 3. Prepare 4. Procure 5. Manage 6. Finalise

Same process for Standard lighting bulk change


Energy reduction – off street lighting

• Mapping and audit ($15-40,000) • ID’s $100-1m of efficiency projects • Around 7-12 yr payback

• Depends upon condition of assets • Relies upon good policy/guideline backup


Contestability – Bulk Change!

What we found – Maintenance


Future trends in growth areas

• Fewer decorative lights in new estates • Removal and reduction of current decorative stock (long term) • Collective purchasing of bulk changes • Current funding is accelerating bulk replacements

• Improved budgeting for replacement of assets • Eliminating or rationalising decoratives


Recommendation – Energy Efficiency and contestability

Systematically plan for street lighting efficiency 1. Bulk change (standard and decorative as relevant) 2. Policy/guidelines 3. Off street lighting

Group procurement and planning (aka MAV process)

Full contestability where it can be achieved (i.e. bulk change) Watch and wait for maintenance contestability

Improved asset management for decoratives (budget, elimination, rationalisation)

A Quick Update on Some Other Street Lighting News…!

!1. Bulk Tender!2. CEEP Round 2!3. LEDs!


1.  Preparation 2.  Funding/Finance 3.  Specific Council Requirements 4.  Procure 5.  Manage 6.  Finalise

In Victoria, group Tender has been released. You can still be involved but agency agreement must be returned by 21st September.

Assistance !


• $36 million went to council applications • $11 million went to council street lighting retrofits

• However the most important figure is $160 million.

CEEP Round 2

Be prepared!


What about LEDs?!

1. Keep your eye on the ball. Don’t be distracted by silver bullets but stay grounded in reality.

2. Take the emotion out of it. 3. Remember this is not the last decision council will

ever make in regards to lighting. 4. Don’t fight with the umpire. 5. Be strategic; be sensible; get advice when you

need it.
