To lower power expenses, the Lahore Development Authority decided on turning every streetlight inside its LDA City housing project over to solar energy.
Funding for putting in solar-powered LED streetlights across the Jinnah Sector received approval from the governing body of the authority.
New streetlight poles featuring 200-watt LED lights will go up as part of the plan. The vice chairman of the LDA led a governing body meeting where officials reviewed the PC-1 for the project.
Prior to moving forward with this wider rollout, the authority reviewed performance data gathered from solar lights set up at different spots earlier.
Lowering long-term operating expenses and cutting down on expensive grid power are driving LDA to roll out additional solar setups.
Moving residential street lighting onto alternative energy options forms part of the agency strategy to lower power bills.
