The Teulada City Council has signed the contract for the installation of the fourth phase of public lighting with solar streetlights. The council has invested 150.000 euros (VAT included) in the installation of 96 solar streetlights. Already in 2018, the first phase was installed in container batteries in urbanizations and, last year, the second and third phases in primary roads and urbanizations.
This project contributes to the optimization of energy consumption, as well as to the lower ecological impact and the reduction of emissions. "We continue to provide the municipality with sustainable lighting, a historical demand that we are fulfilling phase by phase," said José Antonio Bisquert, Councilor for General Services.
For his part, the mayor of Teulada Moraira, Raúl Llobell, added that "this project has less impact on the landscape, seeking a balance between innovation and efficiency, and adapting renewable energies to changing times."
Solar streetlights represent a series of improvements and advantages over traditional ones, such as the use of more efficient materials; a reduction in CO₂ emissions into the atmosphere; a zero electrical cost from the network, which helps to alleviate the frequency of electrical distribution systems; much cheaper maintenance and installation, among others.
