Energy efficiency
Implementing high quality, energy efficient LED technology and a remote control system, which dim or turn of the light during the night at applicable sites, not only saves energy and reduces CO2 emission – it also saves significant costs and improves efficiency in relation to operations and maintenance. LED lightning has an expected service life of 25 years. Svendborg Vejbelysning is using the savings to repay its two green loans disbursed in 2019 and 2020.
