The Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) has approved a loan of USD30 million (mn) to the Government of Suriname, to replace that country\u2019s existing high pressure sodium streetlights with high efficiency light-emitting diode (LED) systems. The replacement of the approximately 40,000 streetlights is expected to reduce energy consumption and costs as well as associated greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n

\u201cStreet lighting is a substantial expense for the government of Suriname, accounting for over 30 percent of total electricity consumption. This project is expected to significantly reduce electricity consumption and emissions, with a corresponding reduction in expenditure. The introduction of energy-efficient streetlight and smart technology contributes to the government\u2019s vision of establishing a modern, sustainable, affordable energy supply, leading to more energy security and international competitiveness<\/em>,\u201d said\u00a0Daniel Best, Director of Projects, CDB<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The project will be executed by utility company Energie Bedrijven Suriname (EBS). It will include the establishment of an advanced metering system, including the installation of 21,000 smart electricity meters. This will improve EBS\u2019 operational efficiency, as the smart meters will improve the reliability of consumption readings, and enable remote diagnostics, reducing the response time for failures.<\/p>\n
