Aichach is committed to climate protection: 180 street lamps now glow green!
The city of Aichach recently received significant funding to convert its old town lighting to energy-saving LED technology. On November 19, 2025 it was announced that the City of Aichach received a climate protection bonus of 1,855.15 euros from Lechwerke (LEW) for the conversion of around 180 street lamps. This measure is part of a comprehensive program to promote municipal energy saving projects.
The LEW climate protection bonus is an important funding instrument for municipalities in the LEW distribution network and in neighboring districts. In total, in 2025, according to information from LEW 100,000 euros are available, which are divided between the supported municipalities. The amount of funding depends on the number of residents and the number of applications.
Advantages of converting to LED technology
Converting street lighting to LED technology not only brings environmental benefits through reduced energy consumption, but also reduces long-term electricity costs for the city. In addition to financial support, LEW also promotes the implementation of measures for climate-friendly energy production, energy saving measures and the optimization of energy consumption.
Since 2015, more than 800 municipal projects with a total volume of 30 million euros have been supported as part of the climate protection bonus. This shows LEW's extensive commitment to promoting sustainable development and energy efficiency in the region.
Integration of citizens' initiatives
However, successful climate protection measures are not only the result of local efforts; they also require citizen engagement. Loud Climate coins Measures such as public climate action days, sponsorships for urban greenery or the promotion of regional products in canteens can make a significant contribution to raising awareness among the population. In addition, the use of gamification to motivate citizens is described as effective.
An example of this is the Klima-Taler app, which promotes CO2 savings and makes successes measurable. These initiatives not only create better awareness of climate protection, but also strengthen the connections between citizens within their community.
