At Edison Next, we remain committed to sustainability and energy efficiency through the development of projects that directly contribute to the transformation and modernization of cities. On this occasion, within the framework of the Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan (SECAP), we have been awarded the project to improve the energy efficiency and safety of public lighting in one of the sectors of Sa Pobla, on the island of Mallorca.
This project, with a budget of €120,564 and an execution period of six weeks, will modernize a public lighting infrastructure that currently accounts for 28.67% of the municipality’s total electricity consumption.
The project addresses the need to upgrade a system largely based on mercury vapor luminaires, which represent nearly 90% of the installed base, with the aim of improving efficiency, service quality and safety for both pedestrians and vehicles.
The solution developed by Edison Next includes the replacement of approximately 120 light points with next-generation LED luminaires, as well as the renewal of brackets, wiring and electrical components across different sections of the network.
The works will be carried out in streets such as Fadrins, Miquel Verdera, Progrés, Lluc, Ramon Llull and Sant Francesc, among others, and will include the inspection of overhead and underground lines, the installation of new protection boxes, and the adaptation of the entire system to current regulations.
In addition, control systems such as astronomical timers will be implemented, enabling lighting schedules to be optimized based on natural light conditions and ensuring a more efficient use of energy.
This project will not only improve energy efficiency in the municipality of Sa Pobla, but also optimize lighting levels and uniformity, reducing both excess and insufficient lighting currently present in certain areas.
It will also help minimize light pollution, extend the lifespan of installations to at least 30 years, and reduce maintenance requirements.
Thanks to the implementation of advanced LED technology and system optimization, the municipality is expected to achieve energy savings of over 50% in public lighting. This will translate into an overall reduction of around 15% in total municipal electricity consumption, as well as a significant decrease in CO₂ emissions.
With this project, Edison Next once again reinforces its strong commitment to the energy transition of cities and municipalities across Spain, delivering solutions that combine efficiency, sustainability and improved quality of life for citizens, while supporting public administrations in modernizing their infrastructures and moving towards a more sustainable future.
