Rhosllanerchrugog was the first project undertaken by our ProVision – total lighting solution service. Working closely with Salix Finance to provide a full street lighting upgrade, interest free, and paid back in full within 5 years.

​

ProVision secured Rhosllanerchrugog Community Council  over £69,000 of government backed, interest-free Salix funding to supply and install the entire Community Council with LED Technology in a bid to save energy, reduce carbon footprint and save on maintenance costs.  A total of 522 luminaires were installed over a period of one month, replacing predominantly 35w SOX lanterns with 16w ProVision PV-S LED’s.

​

The upgrade is set to save the Council approximately 100,000 kWh per annum, which translates as  £11,000 per annum (£110,000 over project life) in electricity cost savings. In addition to this is and carbon saving of 41 tonnes of CO2 per year (410 tonnes over life).

​

In addition to the energy and maintenance savings Rhosllanerchrugog are now, as a direct result of the scheme, in adherence to the “Well-Being of Future Generations Act” as well as the “Wales of Cohesive Communities”. Both are initiatives by the Welsh Government which aim for low carbon, eco-responsibilities as well as safe, attractive community environments.

​

As one of the largest Community Councils in Wales, ProVision hope to showcase the scheme as a working model to demonstrate to towns and villages across the UK, helping those with no capital convert to LED technology through this simple solution.
