Ningxia or the Northwest's first lit LED street light

In recent years, China's developed coastal areas of large-scale implementation of LED street reconstruction project. Guangdong plans to use 3 to 5 years to complete the transformation of 5 million LED energy-saving streetlights. April 2009, the Ministry of science and Technology launched the "Ten City million" semiconductor lighting application engineering pilot. May 19, 2011, the Ministry of science and Technology launched the second phase of the pilot program, the pilot cities, including Shaanxi, Baoji, Hunan and other cities in the city of, 16. As the less developed regions of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, although the lack of advantage in the supply channels and return on investment, but high efficiency energy-saving emission reduction effect of LED street, Ningxia in the new lighting applications have begun to try.

CPPCC proposals to arouse attention

LED (light emitting diode) is a hot word in recent years, LED street lamp as a new light source of environmental protection, energy saving, stability, good color rendering, is being accepted by the public.

August 2011, the Ningxia autonomous region CPPCC internal publications "social situation and public opinion," published in the region to promote the use of LED street lamp proposal. After reading the leadership of the autonomous region government believes that this proposal is very good, to promote energy saving and emission reduction work in the autonomous region is very necessary, requiring the Ningxia electric power company is responsible for the implementation of specific views.

According to authoritative survey, the industry is currently the largest energy consumption of industrial consumption, followed by the lighting consumption, and lighting consumption, road lighting and landscape lighting accounted for 45%-60%. As of August 2011, the total area of Ningxia, a total of 500 thousand street lamps. If the 500 thousand lamp lighting lamps to replace all 120 Watt LED lamps equivalent, 11 hours a day, the year will save electricity about 401 million 500 thousand degrees, saving 140 thousand tons of standard coal, 350 thousand tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year. More importantly, LED street lamp energy saving effect is significant. At present, China's lighting lamp mainly adopts high-power lamp high pressure sodium lamp, high pressure sodium lamp to 250 watts as an example, the light efficiency is 47l M / W, and the LED lamp is only 120 watts, but the light efficiency of 90L M / W, therefore, the equivalent street lamp case, 120 replace a 250 watt watt LED lamp high pressure sodium lamp, saving 50%.

Compared with the traditional street lamp, LED street lamp has the advantages of energy saving, controllable and long service life. The traditional street light suddenly light is easy to reduce the life of lamps, LED lights do not have this concern. Autonomous Region, said Cui Haishan, director of the electricity Commission, said. In addition, LED street lamp color is good, can accurately control the light and light angle, light and soft without glare, life can reach 10 times the traditional street lamp. The traditional street lamp, road monitoring camera shoot something may be a group of black, however once installed LED lights, camera is very clear, this to the police, after investigation and evidence collection also bring great convenience.

There are many difficulties in promotion

However, after the investigation and evidence collection Ningxia electric power company found that there are many problems and difficulties in the promotion of LED street lamp transformation in Ningxia. Ningxia is located in remote areas of the northwest, the economic development is relatively backward. High cost of LED street lamp. 120 Watt LED lamp average price of $5000, is a high pressure sodium lamp price of 3 to 4 times. To complete the transformation of the 500 thousand lamps in Ningxia region, only the cost of lighting requires $2 billion 250 million, plus the installation cost of 135 million yuan, the investment amount of up to $2 billion 385 million. And Ningxia is not a LED lighting production industry, making the original high cost of LED street lights have to increase the cost of transport. Ningxia price level is relatively low, there is no perfect financing environment, this is a huge expense if you rely on government financial or professional energy companies to invest in the transformation, the payback period of investment is too large and too long, will bring enormous pressure and risk.

Moreover, if a city as a whole street lamps up to tens of thousands of lights, will be divided into many groups of electricity bills. The total monthly electricity by the seasons, light time, bad light quantity, voltage fluctuation, power loss, new lighting, connecting it with (signs, traffic lights, billboards) and other factors, caused by the power base is difficult to determine, and then make the electricity section cannot be accurately calculated, which will give investors bring investment recovery the difficulties and risks, affect the enthusiasm of investors.

Ningxia or will use LED street lamp

How to build the first batch of "green lighting" in the Ningxia area? After many times invited experts to investigate, Ningxia company suggested: the use of professional service companies or investment companies in the region and the use of contract energy management model to implement the transformation of LED street lamp.

Contract energy management model is to invest in the transformation of energy-saving companies, after the completion of the transformation of energy efficiency to pay for the service fee of energy companies. This can make the street management department does not have to raise a lot of money to invest in the project, reduce the financial pressure, suitable for the current situation in Ningxia.

If you want to attract investors to implement LED street reconstruction, Ningxia: LED street reconstruction project on the huge investment, financing channels to solve problems. Coastal developed areas of the transformation of the mode of operation of LED street lamps worth learning. In the case of Guangdong, Guangdong Province in 2009, the government invested 50 million yuan funds and 4 billion 950 million yuan to guide social funds (private capital or private equity fund) composed of Guangdong green industry investment fund to provide financing services for the implementation of the project. Fund investment direction to advance the Guangdong provincial science and Technology Department of the green lighting demonstration city project, increase investment in urban green lighting.

Of course, there is a way - the government as a guarantee of energy-saving incentive funds to bank loans for the development of energy-saving services industry. Energy saving service company
