The conversion will save around 49,500 kWh of energy per year and around 30 tons of_CO2 per year. In addition, the predicted long service life of LED lights will also lead to savings in maintenance.

The total cost of the measure is around € 60,000. The city will receive around €12,000 in funding for the implementation, as the measure will receive 20% of the eligible costs from the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) as part of the German government's climate protection initiative.

In future, the city of Salzgitter will continue to check whether funding is possible for all street lighting modernization measures.
