Applications are in the phase of consideration.

OUTDOOR LIGHTING

Total funding envisaged for the proposed project is UAH 1.3 mln., average payback period – 4.4 years.

Works on operation, technical maintenance, renewal, capital renovation and current repairs of the municipal outdoor lighting electric networks are conducted by CU “Pavlohradsvitlo”. As of 2014, this utility operates 293.7 km of outdoor lighting networks, of which air lines are 197.7 km, and cable lines – 96 km. The city uses lighting fixtures with different types of lamps of the relevant capacity. As of 2014, the quantity of operating lighting fixtures is 5.633 units: arc sodium tubing lamps – 40%, incandescent lamps – 29%, and fluorescent lamps – 25%. In 2014, 1.315 MWh of electricity was consumed for the needs of outdoor lighting. Major part of electricity for outdoor lighting is consumed at night time tariff and is 8in average 73% of total electricity consumption amount. In 2007-2014, expenses of the utility for electricity increased by 2.7 times, which is mainly due to increase of tariffs.

Investment projects catalogue in this sector provides for: introduction of energy efficient lighting sources in the municipal outdoor lighting system through replacement of the current lamps with low luminous efficiency (12-50 lm/W) with the lamps with 80-120 lm/W luminous efficiency and higher index of color transfer, i.e. replacement of fluorescent lamps and incandescent lamps with the energy saving LED light sources, which will allow to update 54% of light sources in the city.

In case of implementation of all measures in the outdoor lighting sector, it is possible to achieve reduction of CO₂ emissions by 500 t/year or 0.13% of the baseline. Total annual reduction of energy resources consumption is expected in the amount of 400 MWh of electricity a year.

Within the framework of NEFCO grant assistance, Pavlohrad is implementing the project “World Business Card of the City” on reconstruction of the lighting system in Dniprovska Street which is the international transport corridor, with use of the modern energy saving technologies. The UAH  918 th. project is in the process of implementation.
