Westminster Case Study
Westminster City Council in London was keen to introduce a solution to eliminate wasted energy from its 15,000 street lights, in an effort to meet new directives set by Parliment which require the City Council to save 60% of carbon emmissions by 2050 - a figure which could rise to 80% as interim targets have been missed.
