Energy efficiency project based on the replacement and improvement of public lighting in the town of Graus (Huesca) to reduce electricity consumption, improve energy efficiency and reduce its carbon footprint.
By using energy more efficiently, and therefore consuming less, consumers can reduce their energy bills, help protect the environment, mitigate climate change, reduce dependence on external oil and gas suppliers and support sustainable economic growth. To achieve these benefits, it is necessary to improve energy efficiency along the entire energy chain, from production to final consumption.
The EU has set a target of 32.5% improvement in energy efficiency by 2030 compared to 2007 levels.
Energy efficiency through LED lighting generates significant energy savings and reduces energy costs. It also helps to reduce the light pollution we suffer in cities.
The implementation of smarter and more efficient public lighting systems results in reduced energy consumption, allowing municipalities to manage costs while reducing their dependence on fossil fuels. All this contributes to reducing emissions, light pollution and improving air quality, bringing benefits to both citizens and society at large.
This action resulted in a 50% reduction in the municipality’s energy consumption and an improvement in the quality of lighting, which has improved the well-being of citizens.
The implementation of energy efficiency solutions significantly reduces emissions, but some solutions rely on fossil fuels and may be constrained in the future due to environmental regulations and taxes. The environmental benefits of electricity efficiency measures depend on the evolution of the electricity mix towards renewable sources.
