All lights to LED
Together with our shareholders, the local authorities, we are working hard on the modernisation of public lighting. To be exact: we are systematically replacing all analogue lights with interactive LED lighting units. The goal is to convert all the lights in Flanders to LED by 2030, in accordance with the Flemish coalition agreement. In this regard, we have signed a memorandum of intent with VVSG and the Agoria technology federation. More than 19% of our public lighting has now been switched to LEDs
Light-as-a-service: accelerated investment in LED conversion
Since 2019, local authorities have been signing up to our ‘light-as-a-service’ offering, under which we take charge of converting their lights to LEDs. In 2020, another 23 local authorities opted for the ‘OV 2.0’ light-as-a-service plan. This means that 89% of all Flemish cities and municipalities have decided to take up the offer, which meets their demand for financial and technical support with the LED switchover. It also responds to local authorities’ need for interactive, flexible control over their lighting and for energy savings and CO2 reductions.
