Semih Genç, Director of Retail Sales Investments at Shell & Turcas, said in a statement about the award: “In the low carbon journey within the scope of our project, we replaced the existing traditional lighting in canopies and giant emblems with LED lights that support low electricity consumption in order to reduce the electricity consumption in our own station network. Thus, as Shell & Turcas, we have implemented the LED Canopy Lighting (LUCI) project in our station network. Within the scope of the project, 160 lighting at 2650 stations were replaced with LED lighting providing a clear light source, and fluorescent lighting in 339 giant emblems were renewed with LED lighting. Within the scope of the project, as a result of the changes made in the under canopy and giant emblems, the total carbon emission was reduced by 1,200 tons and 2.601,5 MWh of energy was saved. With the transition to the use of LEDs with a lifetime of 100.000 hours in lighting, the rate of customers visiting our stations at night increased by 8 percent.
