Udupi CMC to replace streetlights with LED bulbs
The project was taken up under energy efficiency initiative, says CMC commissioner
In a move to conserve energy, the Udupi CMC has decided to instal LED bulbs for streetlights in a phased manner.
CMC Commissioner Gokuldas Nayak told Deccan Herald that already 360 bulbs have been replaced in selected areas at a cost of Rs seven lakh. “We will extend it to other areas after studying the efficiency of LED bulbs. There are nearly 13,181 streetlights within CMC limits. The CMC will have to spend Rs 78 crore to replace them, ” he said and hoped that the government would fund the project.
The initiatative is being taken up as CMC is paying huge bills to Mescom for power consumption. Sodium vapour lamps consume 250 watt power per hour in contrast to mere 75 watt of power consumed by the LED bulbs. Also, the LED bulbs are claimed to be more eco-friendly. Nayak said the selected agency has to maintain LED bulbs for three years.
The project was taken up on build-operate-transfer basis. The agency which has taken up the responsibility of executing this project is vested with the maintenance of the LED bulbs for three years. Out of 13,181 street lights, as many as 10,784 are tube lights, 1,759 are sodium vapor bulbs, 352 are metal hard lights and 210 are T-5 lights, he added.
The areas covered in the first phase include K M Marg road (40 bulbs) , Kinnimulkhi-Taluk office stretch (200) and Karavali-Kadiyali stretch (120).
“Although LED bulbs prove to be energy efficient and conserves less energy, we need additional amount to take up the project to cover all the streetlights and CMC can not invest such a huge amount. The project is carried out only on an experimental basis. If few more agencies come forward to replace the streetlights on build-operate-transfer (BOT) basis, then we can replace the streetlights with LED lights at a few more places,” he added.
