What's happening
The EU plan to phase out all fluorescent lighting since 1st September 2023 in an effort to cut emissions by at least 55% by the year 2030. This will save both €18.2 billion in costs and 190 TWh of electricity. It will also prevent approximately 3.3 metric tonnes of toxic mercury being circulated into the environment.
What's happening
How does this affect you:
This may directly affect you, as fluorescent lights are very common in the workplace, such as offices, schools, and hospitals. The three most common types are – T5 linear fluorescent, T8 linear fluorescent and pin-based compact fluorescents. The sudden demand from this phase out will create a widespread delay in the supply of energy-efficient lighting in the coming year. This expected backlog is likely to increase costs over the next year.
How does this affect you:
What can you do:
Get ahead of the impending rush by applying for a fully funded lighting upgrade with Energia as soon as possible. Get your old fluorescent lighting replaced, while also reducing your lighting consumption by up to 80%. This will also help in offsetting your carbon footprint.
