City of Hue
Urban lighting in Hue
Currently, the city is using a number of methods to save energy consumption such as two-mode saving control panel and set of dimming LED light. However, these methods have not been truly effective and are still difficult to manage, operate and maintain. In the coming time, Hue will gradually replace Sodium light bulbs with LED lights with 50% capacity compared to Sodium light bulbs.
–
The annual savings from energy saving and maintenance costs will be reinvested for the next year and gradually replace all Sodium light bulbs with LED light bulbs in the city.
–
From the above methodology, if all Sodium light bulbs are replaced with LED lights in the city; annually, it will save about more than 4.5 billion VND.
