In the local districts of the unified municipality of Morbach, the energy service provider and infrastructure provider - Westenergie has completed the modernization of the lanterns of the entire street lighting.
New and environmentally friendly LED lights in the 1,960 street lamps now provide efficient and energy-saving lighting in the streets. Mayor Andreas Hackethal and other employees from the administration and Westenergie got an idea of the new lighting technology on site.
Longer-lasting LED technology
"With the new, longer-lasting LED technology, we are not only easing the burden on the municipality's budget, we are also protecting the environment. This is another contribution by the municipality of Morbach to climate protection. In addition, the modernization ensures better lighting of the streets in the local districts," emphasized Andreas Hackethal, Mayor of the municipality of Morbach.
Marco Felten, Head of the Trier Region at Westenergie, added: "We are pleased that we can contribute to improving the infrastructure in the local districts of the municipality of Morbach. The new street lighting also improves safety thanks to the optimized lighting quality."
Modernization of street lighting
The modernization of the lights in the street lamps took place primarily between 2021 and 2024
The municipality of Morbach expects the conversion to save around 50 percent of its previous energy costs for lighting. In addition, the use of state-of-the-art LED technology helps to significantly reduce CO2 emissions.
The modernization of the lights in the street lamps took place primarily between 2021 and 2024. Westenergie works with partner municipalities on the operation and modernization of street lighting as part of a service agreement.
Small initiatives and large associations
In addition to energy supply, Westenergie is traditionally involved in the areas of sport, culture, social affairs, climate protection and education in its partner communities.
Through sponsorship and cooperation, the company supports both small initiatives and large associations in order to shape the future together with local people, also at a social level.
