Current situation of China's new energy - energy saving transformation is imperative

    "Low-carbon storm" swept the world, environmental governance and energy conservation and emission reduction work has become the focus of governments and enterprises at all levels! The outline of the 12th Five-Year Plan points out that we should accelerate the construction of resource-saving and environment-friendly production and consumption modes, strengthen the capacity for sustainable development, and improve the level of ecological civilization.

   Urban public lighting accounts for 30% of China''s lighting power consumption, about 43.9 billion kWh, calculated at the average price of 0.65 yuan /kWh, a year of spending 28.5 billion yuan. Statistics from China''s Ministry of Construction show that the current annual electricity consumption of urban lighting (only counting functional lighting such as landscape lighting and street lamps) accounts for about 4% to 5% of China''s total power generation, equivalent to half of the annual power generation capacity of the Three Gorges hydropower project (85 billion KWH). This series of data shows that, as the image of urban development, and under the national policy of vigorously promoting energy conservation and emission reduction, energy-saving transformation of street lamps is of great significance. Street light energy saving, huge space! Energy saving transformation is imperative!

    Although sodium lamps have made great progress in technology in recent years, light efficiency and illuminance have been greatly improved, but as a traditional gas light source, the use of sodium lamps will not only bring more serious mercury vapor pollution problems (scrapped lamps are more serious mercury pollution sources), but also large power consumption, light decay is relatively fast (its service life is about 1 year to 1 and a half years). The annual cost of maintenance and replacement of lamps is also relatively high. The burden is not insignificant. With the continuous development of the city, street lighting electricity and various costs have also increased rapidly, urban lighting, street lighting has become a serious burden on local finance, but also become a major bottleneck in energy conservation and emission reduction.
