Getaria City Council employees have commenced work to adapt the public lighting in the old town to an LED system. This initiative is part of the Council's 2022-2030 Climate and Energy Plan, with the goals of reducing energy consumption, enhancing the efficiency of public lighting, and consequently, lowering the municipality's energy expenditure.
Prior to the commencement of these works, a technical study was conducted for the lighting renovation. This study analyzed the light points and illumination characteristics of the old town and determined the requirements for adapting them to LED technology.
The works are being carried out by municipal staff, and the luminaires have been procured through a tendering process. The budget for the supply of the luminaires is 54,934 euros, including VAT, while the installation tasks will be performed by the City Council's own employees.
Furthermore, once installed, the luminaires will be prepared for the implementation of a remote management system. This will allow the Council the option to integrate this system next year, thereby improving the management and control of public lighting.
The transition to LED technology will enhance energy efficiency and, in addition to reducing public lighting's energy consumption, will result in economic savings for the Council. This action is situated within the commitment made by Getaria City Council to address climate change and its efforts to advance the energy transition.
