South Dublin County Council to invest over €700,000 in high quality, energy efficient LED Public Street Lighting Programme

 South Dublin County Council is leading the way with new energy efficient alternatives and we are delighted to announce the details of a proposed multi-annual investment programme in the upgrade of our public lighting system.  In 2015, the Council will invest over €700,000 in upgrading existing lights to low energy LED lanterns.  These new LED lanterns use significantly less energy compared to existing conventional streetlights. In addition they have a lifetime in excess of 15 years delivering immediate savings of over €60,000 per year in lower energy and maintenance costs.  High quality LED lighting will also increase the visibility and visual attraction of our villages, residential and commercial centres in the County.

Chief Executive Daniel McLoughlin added “Improving the quality, efficiency, and reliability of our County’s streetlights is essential to the public safety of our residents. We want to deliver on our commitment to reduce energy use, increase sustainability and offer our citizens and businesses a better quality of light”.

The first phase of the programme will include the replacement of over 400 lanterns with L.E.D. lanterns in the centres of Lucan, Palmerstown, Clondalkin, Rathcoole, Newcastle, Rathfarnham and Templeogue Villages. 

Secondly over 650 lanterns will be replaced at various locations throughout the County as follows:-

• Clondalkin Area – 118 Lanterns in the following areas: Castle Avenue/Drive/Close/Grove, Castle Park/View, Knockmeenagh Road, Laurel Park, Newlands Avenue/Drive/Park/Road and Watery lane.

• Lucan Area – 99 Lanterns, including Ballydowd Gove, Lucan heights, Roselawn and Sarsfield Park.

• Tallaght – 164 Lanterns including St. Maelruans Park, Bancroft Avenue/Close/Grove/Park/Road.

• Rathfarnham – 132 Lanterns at Anne Devlin  Avenue/ Drive/Park/Road, Butterfield Grove, Marian Crescent, Orchardstown Avenue/Drive/Park/Villas, Silverwood Drive/Road, Washington Lane/Park.

• Templeogue/Terenure – 154 Lanterns in Dangan Avenue/Drive/Park, Greentrees, Hillsbrook, Muckross, Rockfield and Shelton.
