Infrastructure provider achieves 54% energy savings

Urban infrastructure service provider Jamshedpur Utilities and Services Company (JUSCO) has launched a ‘Green City’ initiative for Jamshedpur, the largest city in Jharkhand and a major industrial zone in eastern India.

The company recognised the many advantages that LED street lighting can bring to the cityscape. Following a thorough assessment process, JUSCO chose GE Lighting as its preferred partner to upgrade the existing conventional streetlights. With the new lighting solution, JUSCO is expected to achieve energy and maintenance savings of around 54% a year.

A total of 400 units of 250 W high-pressure sodium vapour lamps in the city were replaced with the sophisticated GE Palm street lighting system using 130 W LED streetlights.

GE Palm offers a dual advantage of optimum light and outdoor lighting effect providing more power cost-effectively. With its remarkable styling, adaptability and other design features, GE Palm adds an aesthetic element during the day and provides superior light output at night.

Through ‘Green is green’, Ecomagination is GE’s commitment to technology solutions that save money and reduce environmental impact for our customers. Aligning with JUSCO’s ‘Green City’ initiative, GE lighting has driven innovation and growth of profitable environmental solutions to meet JUSCO’s demands for more energy-efficient products and solutions to tackle the challenging environmental issues.
