€2.4 Million Investment to Maintain 19,500 Street Lights Across the County

DONEGAL County Council is preparing to allocate over €2.42 million in 2025 for the operation of its 19,500 public street lights, which account for 50% of the council’s annual power consumption. This substantial cost is expected to be mitigated by the ongoing energy efficiency program that has already seen more than 82% of the lights replaced with modern LED fixtures. The council’s transition away from outdated SOX lighting began in 2018, when it borrowed €13 million over five years for upgrades. Despite the increase in the number of street lights—growing by 30% from 15,000 in 2016 to 19,500 in 2024—the overall electricity consumption has decreased by 32%. The council plans to continue its LED retrofit program, focusing on the replacement of higher wattage SON lights, supported by funding from Transport for Ireland for primary road upgrades. For maintenance issues, the public is advised to contact Electric Skyline directly.
