Ireland's Dublin - All of the 1,800 light points in the nine-kilometre-long Dublin Port Tunnel have been fitted with energy-efficient LED lighting by Signify (Euronext: LIGHT). Based on 2022 prices, the enhanced lighting has reduced electricity use by up to 60%, which is the same amount of electricity used by up to 300 Irish households.

The project is expected to save upwards of €4 million in electricity costs including VAT over the coming five years. The installation includes reusing the existing fittings for all light points. So, the project contributes to a more circular economy, saving an estimated €3 million as opposed to opting for a new LED infrastructural installation.
