Erkath: Green Stemme for quick conversion of street lighting

The council group of Bündnis 90/Die Grünen in Erkrath welcomes the decision of the Stadtwerke supervisory board to switch the city's street lighting entirely to energy-saving LED lights. This measure should be completed by the end of 2026, which will make a significant contribution to environmental protection and energy savings.

The changeover affects a total of 2,650 conventional, energy-consuming lights that are replaced by modern LED technology. This enables several million kilowatt hours of electricity to be saved and thousands of tons of CO2 emissions. This is not only an ecological profit, but will also lead to significant savings in the city's electricity costs.

Peter Knitsch, spokesman for the Green Council Group, emphasizes the need for a quick change in the face of the current climate balance of the city of Erkrath. The previous goals for reducing CO2 emissions have not been achieved, so the rapid conversion to LED lights is an important step in the right direction. He is optimistic that the measure has made a positive contribution to the city's environmental balance.

In addition to the switch to LED technology, the Greens also stand up for the use of warm, insect-friendly light. In addition, they strive to implement an intelligent, needs -controlled system for road lighting in Erkrath in order to further optimize energy consumption.

The unanimous decision of the supervisory board for the quick changeover of street lighting shows that environmental protection and energy efficiency in Erkrath are very important. The Greens will continue to make sure that the decision is implemented quickly and effectively in order to fully exploit the ecological and economic advantages of the measure.
