The city of Vila-real has received nearly €2 million from Spain’s National Energy Efficiency Fund, managed by the Institute for Energy Diversification and Saving (IDAE), to replace 3,354 streetlights in its industrial zones and outskirts.
The initiative marks the first phase of a broader three-stage public lighting modernization project aimed at reducing energy consumption and light pollution, improving lighting quality, and enhancing safety.
The selected areas, industrial estates and peripheral zones, were prioritized for their strategic economic role. The project will introduce smart, adjustable lighting systems powered by Lightsync technology, which adapts brightness to weather, traffic, and pedestrian presence. Installation is scheduled to begin in July 2026 and be completed by mid-2027.
