The provincial council of Bizkaia will invest €27.7 million between 2022 and 2027 so that the 1,300 kilometers of roads in Bizkaia have LED lighting. The deputy for Infrastructure and Territorial Development, Imanol Pradales, explained today that the foral entity hopes to reduce consumption by up to 50% and the bill by 30%.
Likewise, he explained that the Department of Infrastructure and Territorial Development has been carrying out these migrations since 2015, so that currently 20% of the 40,053 luminaires in the network are already LED.
As reported by Pradales, this investment will help provide the area’s road network with efficient and energy-efficient lighting.
Of the total of 40,053 light points on the road network of Bizkaia, 16,252 are open-air street lamps and 23,801 correspond to tunnel lighting.
Pradales has emphasized that, unlike the traditional sodium luminaires (VSAP) used until now, the LED system allows intensity adjustment to adapt the lighting to changes in traffic or potential changes in characteristics of a road, all without physical access to the luminaire and controlled from the regional command centers.
According to Pradales, the provincial government will “anticipate” compliance with the Basque energy sustainability law, which means a 35% reduction in consumption for the administrations by the year 2030.
An initial investment of 10 million euros will be put out to tender next week.
