Dear Ms Burrows

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 - INFORMATION REQUEST

Thank you for your request for information received on 23rd January 2018.
We have considered your request and enclose the following information

1)    Has the council installed any energy efficient street lighting in
the last five years, such as replacing halogen bulbs with LED street
lights?

Caerphilly CBC has replaced both high pressure and low pressure Sodium
lamps with LED alternatives.

2)    If the council is in the process of installing any energy efficient
street lighting, please confirm when the council started to do this and
provide an estimate of when the council expects to have switched all
street lights to energy efficient street lighting.

There is no widespread programme of LED changes to the street lighting
inventory taking place. Defective and life expired lanterns are being
replaced with LED alternatives on an individual basis as part of routine
maintenance.

3)    How much did the council spend on running, installing and
maintaining street lighting under the council’s jurisdiction in 2015,
2016 and 2017?

14/15 - £2,333,367

15/16 - £2,742,238

16/17 - £2,064,667

4)    How much does the council estimate they will spend on running,
installing and maintaining street lighting under the council’s
jurisdiction in 2018?

£1,823,166

5)    How many complaints were received in relation to new energy
efficient street lighting, if any, during 2017?

Our records indicate that 9 service requests directly relating to LED
lanterns were received in 2017

6)    Please estimate how much money the council currently saves following
the installation of any energy efficient street lighting on a monthly and
annual basis.

The continually changing duration of daylight gives monthly operating
hours that vary considerably year to year and we do not hold this
information.

Annual savings to date from LED changes –

2,531,000kWh

£287,000pa

1,042 tonnes co2
