Case Study: Endeavour Energy
Endeavour Energy + Sircel: A powerful partnership
One of the immediate challenges was how to divert from landfill the high volume of old streetlights that were being replaced in the light exchange program.
Across the network area in NSW, the Endeavour Energy field team were dismantling by hand the less efficient lamp heads and replacing the globes with new energy efficient LED lighting. The decommissioned materials were partially recycled or sent to landfill.
Endeavour Energy recognised the need for a solution that was measurable and efficient, and less labour- and time-intensive.
