DOE released 2030 U.S. LED lighting energy saving Forecast Report

The U.S. Department of energy (DOE) recently released a forecast report, the report of the energy saving potential of white light LED were analyzed and predicted, the prediction results (the same permeability compared with LED):

Long expected in the general lighting market before 2020, LED lighting will occupy 36% (lumen-hour sales), in 2030 reached 75%.

"In 2030, is expected to LED lighting will provide the United States energy saving 300 Tera watt hour (terawatt-hours), or the equivalent of saving 50 of annual output of 1000 MW (megawatt) power plant (about 1500 MWh). Current energy prices, in 2030 LED lighting for the United States to save $30 billion.

"In accordance with the above forecast, LED lighting for the United States to reduce 210 million tonnes in 2030 (metric tons of carbon) carbon emissions. LED will reduce the energy consumed by lighting by about 46%.

DOE also expects LED light effect will be from the current 64.3lm/W to 147.3lm/W in 2020, 2030 will reach 176.3lm/W, but the price will be from the current $169.49 / thousand lumens in 2030 fell to $5.03 / thousand lumens.
