New entry in what seems now emerging as a sort of global competition, between large and small cities, to seize the primacy of being the first in the world to use LED technology for public lighting.
It's the time for London , as reported ,on sunday 9 march 2008, by the Independent.
I have the privilege to show to the public: the first ever official electricity bill , that come from a green energy installation for pubblic lighting. A copy of the bill it is even available for download - (just click the red sentence at the bottom of their blog page.) that show the huge saving of money that has been collected by the town of Torraca,
Torraca (Salerno) a small town in the south of Italy it is the first city in the world where the pubblic illumination it is realized with LED technology, that mean better night vision and saving in energy around 65-70% . Not only all the energy it comes from Photovoltaic panels, making the city energy self sustained
The experiment it is just started but the result it is already amazing: I 've been there!
700 hundred street lamps installed , each lamp contain 54 Leds .
