Wuxi promulgates the country's first local regulations on urban lighting, which will be implemented next month

Starting from October 1, the "Wuxi Urban Lighting Regulations" will be officially implemented. This is the country's first local regulation on urban lighting. "In the future, after the street lighting in the community meets relevant standards, the electricity bill can be 'paid' by the government." Relevant people from the Municipal People's Congress said that this creative people's livelihood legislation is more in line with public opinion. It clarifies that road lighting in residential areas is functional lighting and is included in the unified management of the urban lighting system. It is a measure that benefits the people in our city that is different from other provinces and cities and responds to people's livelihood expectations. The annual lighting fee for residential areas in the main city is tens of millions The "Regulations" incorporate the opinions of the masses. Article 21 stipulates that lighting facilities in residential areas can be transferred to relevant government departments for management, provided that relevant conditions are met. Industry insiders revealed that with this provision alone, the city government will bear nearly 10 million yuan in electricity and maintenance fees for about 30,000 lighting facilities in residential areas in the main urban area a year. "Currently, the road lighting facilities in some residential areas do not meet the transfer conditions and should be implemented as soon as possible in accordance with the requirements of the Regulations." A relevant person from the Legal Affairs Committee of the Municipal People's Congress Standing Committee said that our city's urban lighting industry is developing rapidly, and green lighting work is at a leading level in the country and the province. The Regulations not only elevate our city's good experience and practices in urban lighting to local laws and regulations, but also strive to solve new problems encountered in development. The inclusion of light pollution control in regulations was praised Wang Xiaohua, who lives near Zhongshan Road, is tortured by the light pollution projected from the tall buildings opposite. Even after the curtains are drawn in the room at night, it still feels like daytime. He often cannot sleep well. His family has complained to the relevant departments many times. When he learned that the "Regulations" clearly stipulate strict control of light pollution, he praised it repeatedly. In response to the light pollution issue that is of widespread concern to the public, the "Regulations" specifically put forward three specific requirements for the installation of landscape lighting facilities, which should comply with light pollution control requirements and be coordinated with the surrounding environment. Chen Daqing said that in future actual operations, lighting design plans, lighting methods and installation locations will be strictly controlled, and measures such as not facing lights directly at residents' windows and reducing the power of building lighting facilities will be taken to reduce the generation of light pollution. 　 Promote urban lighting sensor monitoring technology　 Careful citizens have discovered that there is little traffic in Taihu New City at night, and some roads such as Wuhu Avenue and Gonghu Avenue turn off slow traffic lights, which does not affect lighting and saves energy. Such an intelligent control system and zoning, time-sharing and hierarchical energy-saving control measures are exactly what the Regulations require. The energy consumption caused by urban lighting is also one of the focuses of public attention. In order to promote the construction of a conservation-oriented society and urban green lighting work, the "Regulations" clearly require innovative energy-saving models, encourage units and residences on both sides of important urban roads and landscape rivers to use internal and external light to reduce energy consumption of other landscape lighting, encourage the use of new energy, scientific application of renewable energy such as solar energy and wind energy, promote high-efficiency light sources and lamps, prohibit the use of high-consumption and low-efficiency lighting products, and phase out high-consumption and inefficient lighting facilities within a time limit. 　 Relevant persons from the Municipal Lighting Management Office said that our city has now completed the sensor monitoring of public lighting facilities in the main urban area, realized unified control and 24-hour monitoring of street lights, landscape lights and other ancillary facilities, and installed more than 1,100 sets of sensor control terminals. The plan is to implement technology promotion in Huishan, New District and other places to give full play to the advantages of sensor network technology and save energy to the maximum extent. 　《Wuxi Urban Lighting Regulations》　　It will be implemented from next month Starting from October 1, the "Wuxi Urban Lighting Regulations" will be officially implemented.
