As part of the project, Open Technology’s intelligent lighting control system LiGO was deployed at more than 25 stations, including Clapham Junction and train maintenance depots.

"The project shows the important role that controls can play in helping businesses make meaningful reductions in their energy consumption."

The project was part of an ambitious climate change and energy reduction strategy and is likely to result in total annual savings of £7m-£12m.

Open Technology’s LiGO system is capable of automatically adjusting the lighting levels down to a minimum level when the station is not in operation or switch the lights off when the station is completely closed.

The lighting control system is expected to save around 35% of usual lighting use on average.
