UK Government Allocates .8 Million in Subsidies for LED Lighting to Businesses

The UK Department of Energy and Climate Change recently announced the results of its second Electricity Demand Reduction (EDR) Pilot auction, awarding £4.74 million (approximately $6.81 million) to 24 companies for 37 projects aimed at upgrading to energy-efficient LED lighting. This initiative is expected to save 23,307 kW of winter peak capacity, with a weighted average bid price of £203/kW. However, the decision to subsidize large businesses, including Sainsbury’s receiving £830,000 for LED installations, has sparked criticism from British media, particularly regarding the reduction of subsidies for average households’ energy efficiency improvements. The full list of funded projects is available online.
