Abstract
There has been a clear need for
energy-efficient (EE) technologies that can be applicable in
the municipal street lighting sector. The objective of this
manual is to support the preparation and implementation of
street lighting projects in India, using performance
contracting and other public private partnership-based
delivery approaches. This manual draws upon global best
practices, including practices that have been tried and
presented within India and South Asia; and draws from their
failures and successes to document the major lessons
learned. The manual provides a brief overall background of
EE in India, the kind of barriers faced in the
implementation of EE projects, and the kind of prevalent
policy environment for EE in the country. The manual is
divided into eight sections. Section one provides an
overview of EE street lighting, its components, Indian
standards for outdoor lighting, the key lamp technologies,
and the potential for intelligent street lighting systems.
Section two highlights the financial models for
implementation of street lighting projects. Section three
describes the essentials of undertaking a detailed energy
audit to develop robust baselines. Section four focuses on
procurement and contracting. Section five describes
methodologies for developing monitoring and verification (M
and V) protocols for EE Street lighting projects. Section
six brings together the useful tools and matrices in
implementation of street lighting projects. Section seven
lists the key stakeholders involved in India in such
projects and their potential role. Section eight provides
details on international and Indian case studies on
implementing EE in street lighting and key lessons from
these case examples.
