Community Development Support Program in the Russian Federation Based on Information and Communication Technologies (CDSP-ICT) 2011-2014

#CDSP-ICT- 13

Implementation of a set of energy-efficiency activities in the street lighting system of Luchegorsk

Requested amount $ 14 000

Grantee and other contributions $ 15 000

Total cost $ 29 000

The urban settlement of Luchegorsk is the capital of Pozharsky Raion of Primorsky Krai founded in 1966. Luchegorsk is the largest populated center in the Russian Far East without the status of a city. Its population is nearly 22,000 people. The primary employer of the settlement is Luchegorsk Fuel and Energy Complex (LUTEK) that includes Primorskaya State District Power Plant, which has the highest capacity in this region among the plants of this type.

Community problems addressed by the Project:

• High cost of taking the readings of power meters.
• Need in recording actual power consumption.
• High cost of electric energy.
• Low service life of lamps that may be increased by installing new start-control devices.

Project summary

• Replacement of old DRL lamps with 250 new DNAT energy-efficient ones (high-pressure sodium arc lamps) with electronic start-control devices (EPRA);
• Modernization of street lighting equipment control cabinets, including the installation of infrared radiation heaters to ensure their correct operation in winter;
• Replacement of one-rate meters with multi-rate meters; simple timers with astronomical; and the installation of GSM-modems for transmitting data from electric meters to consumers;
• Municipal energy savings resulting from installing energy-efficient lamps, electronic start-control devices and multi-rate electric meters is channeled to the municipal grant program “Warm Home”. Nearly 600,000 rubles are invested  annually into this program.

Project results:

• Installation of 250 energy-efficient DNAT lamps.
• The service life of the lamps has been extended thanks to the installed start-control devices.
• Installation of 22 multi-rate electric meters.
• Improved quality of lighting in the settlement.
• Energy savings (250-270 kW/h – 600,000 rub.) will be used for funding municipal grant programs.
