Neubrandenburg becomes bright and green: 2000 LED lanterns for the city!

In Neubrandenburg it is quick: the street lighting is converted to modern LED technology, a project that the municipal utilities carry out on behalf of the city. With the change to LED lights, not only energy efficiency increases, but also spared the environment. According to nordkurier.de, the Neubrandenburg municipal works have already converted around 820 lanterns in the Ihlenfeld suburb and the bird district. By 2029, a total of 4,000 out of 8,000 illuminated points are to be switched to modern technology.

The advantages are clearly obvious: LED lights need up to 70% less energy compared to conventional lamps, which significantly reduces CO2 emissions and reduces nightly light pollution. In addition, modern LED lights enable targeted illumination of roads and sidewalks, which improves public security, such as Aceledlight.com emphasized.

support and financing

The project is generously supported: the total costs are around 1.2 million euros. The Ministry of the Environment contributes around 350,000 euros, while the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection provides almost 95,000 euros. Financial funds also come from the European Fund for Regional Development (ERDRE), which underlines the importance of the conversion, even represents a real joint project-supported by the EU, the federal government and the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania new-sw.de.

The changeover in the districts of Broda and Lindenberg is currently taking place before the work will also be extended to the areas of Bethanien, Datzeberg, Carlshöhe, Küssow and Wein in the next few years. In total, over 2000 other lights are to be converted by 2025 and 2026, which will further increase the number of modern lighting points.

A look into the future

The work started in 2021 aims to complete all the planned conversions by 2029. After complete implementation, around half of the street lighting systems in Neubrandenburg will be converted to state-of-the-art LED technology. This not only changes the cityscape, but also improves the quality of life of the citizens, as various experts emphasize. A step that could serve as a model not only in Neubrandenburg, but also in many other cities.

The ambitious project illustrates what is possible with long -term planning and support at all political levels. A real profit for the city, which not only comes up with the latest technology, but also makes a contribution to a more environmentally friendly future.
