LED lighting could save 50% of Taiwan’s energy by 2030

The key is full adoption of LED lighting across the country.

Analysts said a 12.8% reduction in electricity use by the widespread adoption of LED technology is equivalent to the combined capacity of two of Taiwan’s existing nuclear power plants. That savings can reach over 50% by 2030.

Studies show that with the most energy efficient lighting systems, 30% of electricity used by lighting can be saved. By using LED lighting with the smart grid, another 30% of energy can be saved.

Lighting systems currently account for some 18% of total electricity used in Taiwan. Once LED lighting penetration reaches 20%, 2.6% of electricity can be saved.

When penetration reaches 50%, electricity consumption can be reduced by 6.4%, , which is about half of the electricity generated by a new nuclear power plant that Taiwan is building. Analysts said that if penetration reaches 100%, the savings will be close to the electricity generated by two of Taiwan’s three existing nuclear power plants.
