Mr Rattenbury: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) TAMS has the following projects and initiatives planned for the 2012-13 financial year to reduce energy usage:

a. lighting upgrade at Grant Cameron Community Centre;

b. LED lighting upgrade at TAMS Fyshwick offices;

c. ACT Property Group energy efficient lighting project upgrading lighting to LED’s at various ACT Government buildings;

d. traffic light upgrades to LED lanterns. Seven sets of traffic lights will have new LED lanterns installed replacing old incandescent bulbs;

e. replace mercury vapour lamps. The contract has been awarded to replace 1,305 x 50 watt mercury vapour lamps with 26 watt compact fluorescent lamps and luminaires;

f. energy efficient lighting. The contract, to be awarded in December 2012, is to replace 1,700 x 50 watt mercury vapour lamps across the Territory with 26 watt compact fluorescent lamps and luminaires; and

g. arterial road lighting Isabella Drive. This project installs energy efficient lighting on arterial roads where lighting has not existed.

(2) The costs associated with each project/initiative is as follows:

a. estimated cost $200,000;

b. estimated cost $13,500 (excluding tubes);

c. estimated cost $1,700,000;

d. budget $150,000;

e. budget $650,000;

f. budget $1,200,000; and

g. budget $22,000.

(3) The estimated reduction in energy usage as a result of the project/initiatives are as follows:

a. expected to produce a reduction of 30% on lighting circuits;

b. expected to produce a reduction of 30% on lighting circuits;

c. estimated energy savings of 10,000,000Kwh per annum;

d. the net energy savings associated with these changes will be 83%. Current energy usage 14,271 watts, new energy usage with LED lanterns 2,472 watts;

e. the total wattage saved per annum for this project will be 147,987 kilowatts;

f. the total wattage saved per annum for this project will be 192,780 kilowatts; and

g. the street light power use will increase when this project is constructed, but it uses voltage regulator technology in the luminaires which saves 31% of power consumption over conventional luminaires in this category.
