Including 4 closely related terms such as electricity consumption, energy efficiency, and energy.
… to decrease over time as more national grid electricity is generated from renewables and fossil fuels are phased out. This will help lower LBB’s emissions from electricity consumption. However, there remains significant uncertainty over the rate of this change, hence why strong action to implement energy efficiency measures will remain imperative for achieving carbon neutrality by 2029. 3.23 The Parks…
…. 7 3.28 Initiative 1: STREET LIGHTING LED UPGRADE Electricity consumption from Bromley’s 28,000 street lights currently accounts for approximately 37% of the Council’s carbon emissions. Of the 28,000 lights, 10,000 have already been replaced with energy efficient LED lanterns, achieving annual cost savings in excess of £670,000. The Council are now keen to build on past achievements…
