Edison Next modernizes public lighting in Sa Pobla, achieving energy savings of over 50%.

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 action, with a budget of €120,564 and an execution period of 6 weeks, will modernize a public lighting infrastructure that currently accounts for 28.67% of municipal electricity consumption. The project responds to the need to renovate a system based mainly on mercury vapor luminaires, which represent nearly 90% of the installed park, with the aim of improving efficiency, service quality, and safety for both pedestrians and vehicles. The solution developed by Edison Next includes replacing nearly 120 lighting points with state-of-the-art LED luminaires, as well as renewing arms, wiring, and electrical elements in different sections of the network. The work will be carried out on streets such as Fadrins, Miquel Verdera, Progrés, Lluc, Ramon Llull, and Sant Francesc, among others, and will include the review of overhead and underground lines, the installation of new protection boxes, and the adaptation of the entire installation to current regulations. Additionally, control systems such as astronomical clocks will be incorporated, allowing the optimization of lighting on and off times based on natural light, promoting more efficient energy use. This project will not only improve the energy efficiency of the municipality of Sa Pobla but will also optimize lighting levels and uniformity, reducing both excess and lack of light currently present in certain areas. Likewise, it will help minimize light pollution, extend the useful life of the installations to at least 30 years, and reduce maintenance needs. Thanks to the implementation of state-of-the-art LED technology and system optimization, the municipality is expected to achieve energy savings of over 50% in public lighting, which will mean a reduction of nearly 15% in the total electricity consumption of the municipality, as well as a significant decrease in CO₂ emissions. With this project, Edison Next once again reinforces its relentless commitment to the energy transition of cities and municipalities in Spain, developing solutions that combine efficiency, sustainability, and improvement of citizens’ quality of life, while helping public administrations modernize their municipalities and move towards the future.
