Installation of 1,650 New LED Streetlights to Brighten the City of Sylvania
TOLEDO, Ohio – FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE) electric company Toledo Edison recently kicked off the City of Sylvania's $342,000 streetlight conversion project in Lucas County by installing the first of 1,650 LED streetlight fixtures to replace existing lights.
俄亥俄州托萊多——FirstEnergy Corp.（紐約證券交易所代碼：FE）電力公司托萊多·愛迪生最近在盧卡斯縣啓動了西爾瓦尼亞市耗資34.2萬美元的路燈改造項目，安裝了1,650個LED路燈燈具中的第一個，以取代現有照明。
The new LEDs are about 50% more efficient than the previous high-pressure sodium lights and are expected to save the city an estimated $77,000 in energy costs annually. They are also expected to last 15 to 20 years, compared to three to five years for the previous lights. City officials estimate the return on investment will be approximately four and a half years.
新款LED的效率比以前的高壓鈉燈高出約50％，預計每年將爲該市節省77,000美元的能源成本。預計它們還將持續15至20年，而以前的燈泡則爲三到五年。市政府官員估計，投資回報率約爲四年半。
Pat Mullin, Acting President of FirstEnergy's Ohio Operations: "Communities such as Sylvania are increasingly focused on investing in cost-effective projects that offer long-term benefits. The LED streetlight initiative is an excellent illustration of this approach. We are excited to witness the positive impact these improvements will have on the city where we live and work with pride."
FirstEnergy俄亥俄州業務代理總裁帕特·穆林： “像西爾瓦尼亞這樣的社區越來越專注於投資具有長期收益的具有成本效益的項目。發光二極管路燈計劃很好地說明了這種方法。我們很高興看到這些改善將對我們自豪地生活和工作的城市產生積極影響。”
Significant improvements in visibility and security after LED streetlights were installed have been observed in communities within Toledo Edison's service area, such as the city of Toledo and Perrysburg, as well as in other areas in FirstEnergy's footprint. According to data from the city of Toledo, when LED lights were installed in the Old South End section of the city in 2017, violent crimes went down by 37% the following year.
在托萊多愛迪生服務區內的社區（例如托萊多市和佩里斯堡）以及FirstEnergy佔地面積內的其他區域，已觀察到安裝LED路燈後的能見度和安全性得到了顯著改善。根據托萊多市的數據，2017年在該市的舊南區安裝LED燈時，暴力犯罪在第二年下降了37％。
Sylvania Mayor Craig Stough: "Beyond their cost-saving benefits, LED streetlights play a key role in reducing crime and keeping local communities safe. We are excited to take this next step in our community to showcase what a great place Sylvania is to live, work and visit."
西爾瓦尼亞市長克雷格·斯托夫： “除了節省成本的優勢外，LED路燈在減少犯罪和確保當地社區安全方面也起着關鍵作用。我們很高興能夠在社區中邁出下一步，展示西爾瓦尼亞生活、工作和遊覽的絕佳去處。”
