3.3.1 ASEZA lighting study & System upgrade
First thing required before any new measure, in the herein sector, is to prepare and submit a
detailed study (Lighting feasibility study). The study will present the current situation and it
will examine and suggest any additional measures to be taken besides lamps’ replacement, in
order to achieve the envisaged energy savings while keeping high efficiency in the street
lighting. These measures could be the increase or reduction of the distance between the
lighting poles, in order to improve light quality or reduce phenomena of light pollution.
Subsequently the first proposed measure is to replace the sodium (12,000 x 275W) and
mercury (6,000x275W) lamps with LED lamps. This action will ensure great monetary savings
for ASEZA and significant reduction in electricity consumption. These two actions constitute
part of the “Rationalize energy consumption used in street lighting” project fiche, where there
is provided a more detailed analysis of the related costs and calculated energy savings. Key
data on the action is presented in the below table.

external funds
Net Present Value (NPV) >0
3.3.2 Solar cells installation for lighting network
Another action planned is to build power systems based on micro-technology and the use of
solar cells and components of the current lighting network, including the installation of ongrid
PV micro inverters, to reduce the electricity consumed by the Electricity Distribution
Company. The PV panels’ capacity will be 225 KWp and they will cover a part of the street
lighting’s electricity consumption thus reducing the CO 2 emissions. More details about this
action are available in the respective project fiche. Key data on the action are presented
below.

3.3.3 Green procurement procedures for the future lighting equipment
Green procurement constitutes the procedure where the municipalities seek to procure goods
with reduced environmental impact throughout their life cycle and high efficiency standards.
In this way selection of products that minimize environmental impacts takes place,
