LED traffic sign and message boardTotal replaced around 690,000 traffic lights finished by 2011, which saved 2.47 GWh electricity and reduced 151,500 tons CO2 emissions annually.
Indirectly assisted Taiwan LED traffic lights export with US market share over 30%.
LED street light programsBy the end of 2016, 1,268,000 streetlights will be replaced by LEDs
domestically which saved around 610 million kWh electricity per year.
The percentage of LED street lights replacement is 56.4% in Taiwan, which is ranked 1st in the world
LED light bulb replacement programs500 thousands incandescent and CFL light bulbs were replaced by LEDs
Green Procurement RequirementStarting from 2010 “Green Procurement Requirement” mandates 6% green energy content in public construction projects, including LED lightings
