This is the good practice's implementation level. It can be national, regional or local.
About this good practice
Suceava Municipality realised an audit in 2014 of its public lighting system. Studies showed that a modernisation of the public lighting system was needed to be more efficient and save more energy. Suceava Municipality started a project in 2015 to replace the 9221 lighting units located into 18 educational units (schools , kindergartens and high schools ) with LED units . This project is financed through Swiss Romanian Cooperation Programme with a total amount of 2.343.260 Euro and it will be implemented till September 2019.
Using the telemanagement system of public lighting allow:
- other reductions in electricity consumption by programmed reduction of the luminous intensity in set intervals (e.g. 2-5 a.m.) to 75% of the maximum operating intensity.
- real-time identification of non-functional luminaries and implicitly correction of nonconformities.

Resources needed
Total budget of the project: 6 731 149 CHF
Swiss grant (through Swiss-Romanian Cooperation Programme) : 5 238 108 CHF

Evidence of success
Electricity consumption savings the first two years after installation of the system:
Year 1 = 2.013,15 Mwh
Year 2 = 2.438,59 Mwh
Total electricity consumption savings the first two years : 4.451,74 Mwh
Electricity savings (RON) 2018 vs 2016 : 1.550.238,17 RON
Reduction of CO2 emissions calculated for the first two years: 4.451.740 Kw/h x 287,11 g CO2/Kwh = 1.278.139,07 g CO2 ( 1,278 t CO2 ).

Potential for learning or transfer
Using LED systems for public lighting means:
- Significant reduction of energy consumption
- Reduction of CO2 emissions
- Improved quality of the life into the city
- Local development of new technologies (also into the private sector)
Significant investment is required but it enables quick wins regarding electricity consumption, CO2 emissions savings and comfort feelings of inhabitants.
