- Abstract
In the European Union, street lighting accounts for around 3-4% of total energy consumption. In Poland, the energy consumption of street lighting is about 1.5% of the national consumption. However, in some cities, such as Warsaw or Krakow, the energy consumption of street lighting can be up to 40% of the total electricity consumed by the city. The Energy Efficiency Act in force in Poland assumes that final energy savings of 5580 thousand toe will be achieved by the end of 2030. One of the basic tools to be used in order to achieve savings in electricity consumption is a properly conducted energy audit of such installations. There are no guidelines or other documents that could be used by auditors of such installations. In the article, based on a selected road lighting installation, the authors want to present good practices that auditors should follow.
