9. PRIMES Cost considerations  Street lighting provides maximum energy savings at reasonable capital costs, when the contracting authority considers GPP specification and the best available fittings for new lighting systems and refurbishment of existing systems  Where fittings allow, more efficient lamps should be used depending on the location and specific light use requirements  Need to meter electricity consumption for street lighting as cost of electricity is calculated based on the number of units and their nominal wattage, multiplied by the number of hours of use, i.e. where street lighting is upgraded to improve energy efficiency, the contracting authority should seek to renegotiate the electricity charges © Photo courtesy of Invisibleviva_dreamstime by ICLEI

10. PRIMES Cost considerations  Good street lighting design may be able to reduce costs by the resulting increase in distance between the streetlights and lower lamp power.  Using lamps that have longer lifetimes and better lumen maintenance will result in longer maintenance times, there fore reducing costs. This will also reduce the indirect impacts incurred through replacement and maintenance, such as vehicular emissions and the associated impacts from manufacturing and distributing more components, mainly lamps. © Photo courtesy of Invisibleviva_dreamstime by ICLEI
