Renovation of public lighting in the Municipality of San Juan del Puerto (Huelva) begins

The Municipality of San Juan del Puerto (Huelva) has selected SICE for the renovation and adaptation works of the outdoor lighting installations of the municipality to the Regulation of energy efficiency in outdoor lighting installations (approved by Royal Decree 1890/2008, of November 14) and to the Low Voltage Electrotechnical Regulation (approved by Royal Decree 842/2002, of August 2).

With the completion of these works, a significant reduction of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere (reduction of the carbon footprint) will be achieved by improving energy efficiency and reducing the electric energy consumption of the refurbished installation by at least 30%. In addition, light pollution will be reduced, improving the night sky and its environmental impact, as well as reducing intrusive or annoying light, improving visual comfort and avoiding inconvenience to citizens in their homes.

These actions, initially financed 100% by the City Council of San Juan del Puerto, may be co-financed by the European Union, through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
