| Summary: | Most public lighting is concentrated in
cities, where it can constitute up to 65 percent of
municipal electricity budgets. Compared to alternative forms
of public lighting, LED luminaries consume less electricity,
have longer life cycles, and provide better quality
lighting. Despite the benefits, many municipalities are
unsure of how to implement an LED lighting program. This
synthesis report summarizes the cross-cutting findings from
the six case studies which document real-life experiences,
challenges, and solutions encountered in implementing
different LED lighting delivery models—ESCO, super-ESCO,
joint procurement, public-private partnership, lease-to-own,
and municipal financing. Crosscutting findings include
various key roles played by governments, ranging from
setting policies that support LED lighting programs to
establishing an ESCO with a mandate to implement energy
efficient programs while transforming the market. The report
also highlights distinct ways used to mitigate technical,
financial, and performance risks by the cities. These span
from requiring third-party product test results to
completely outsourcing the lighting infrastructure and
procuring lighting as a service. It also highlights the
importance of strategically engaging stakeholders—such as
international partners, local utilities, non-profit groups,
to name but a few—as the program advances. |
