Energy-saving retrofit of rural lighting electrical ready boards: saving electricity = saving money, illuminating a new green rural life

In rural areas, traditional lighting electrical ready boards suffer from issues such as aging equipment, high line loss, and a lack of intelligent control, leading to severe energy waste and persistently high electricity bills. Implementing energy-saving renovations and reducing energy consumption through technological upgrades have become key measures to enhance rural electricity efficiency and alleviate the burden on farmers.

Technological upgrading: from "extensive" to "precise"

The core of the transformation lies in replacing high-efficiency energy-saving equipment. For example, upgrading old mechanical electricity meters to smart meters for real-time monitoring of electricity usage data and precise identification of high energy consumption links; adopting low-loss transformers and energy-saving circuit breakers to reduce line transmission losses; installing intelligent sensing switches to automatically adjust lighting brightness according to light intensity or personnel activity, avoiding the phenomenon of "ever-burning lights". Data shows that after the transformation, the overall energy efficiency of the electrical ready board can be improved by more than 30%, with annual electricity savings of 20%-40%.

Cost-effectiveness: one-time investment, long-term benefits

Taking a certain village as an example, the transformation of 50 electrical ready boards cost about 50,000 yuan, but the annual electricity savings exceeded 20,000 kWh. Calculated at the residential electricity price, it can save the village collective 12,000 yuan in electricity bills every year, and the cost can be recovered in 3-4 years. In addition, energy-saving transformation can also extend equipment life, reduce maintenance frequency, and further reduce long-term operation and maintenance expenses.

Policy support: Green transformation is guaranteed

Currently, the country is vigorously promoting the upgrading and transformation of rural power grids, and many regions have introduced subsidy policies, providing 30%-50% subsidies for the purchase and installation of energy-saving equipment. Farmers can participate in the transformation through the "government subsidy + self-financing" model, easily achieving a "zero-burden" upgrade.

The energy-saving renovation of rural lighting electrical ready boards is not only a "financial benefit" of saving electricity and money, but also an "ecological benefit" of promoting green development in rural areas and supporting the "dual carbon" goals. Small renovations can trigger big changes, maximizing the value of every kilowatt-hour of electricity!
