Public Lighting Upgrade Completed in Alcántara, Malaga, Spain

On July 20, 2026, the energy-saving public lighting upgrade project on Avenida Salamanca in San Pedro Alcántara, Malaga, Spain, was completed on schedule. The project, initiated by the San Pedro Alcántara City Council, replaced 39 outdated sodium vapor lamps with new LED lights and underwent a complete overhaul of the electrical system.

The project covered four streets and took approximately one month to complete.

The project commenced in mid-June, covering Avenida Salamanca, Avenida Santiago de Compostela, Avenida José Urbano, and Avenida Juan Antonio Torquemada. The project took approximately one month to complete and was finished around July 20th.

San Pedro Deputy Mayor Javier García

During an inspection of the construction site, San Pedro Deputy Mayor Javier García stated, "This project includes replacing 39 outdated sodium vapor lamps with new LED lights and a complete overhaul of the entire electrical system." He further explained that the city council is gradually implementing a more efficient lighting system that not only provides higher quality and more durable lighting but is also designed to be more environmentally friendly.

Multi-dimensional Benefits: Energy Saving and Carbon Reduction, Reduced Light Pollution, and Lower Electricity Costs

García emphasized that the main goal of the project is to improve the uniformity of street lighting, enhance safety, and move towards a more sustainable model. The application of LED technology can effectively reduce energy consumption, carbon dioxide emissions, and light pollution, while significantly saving on municipal electricity costs. This project is an important part of the San Pedro Alcantara City Council's public lighting energy-saving plan for the southern region. It is reported that the area has over one thousand streetlights, and the city council's goal is to gradually upgrade all streetlights in the area to LED. To date, the project is approximately 25% complete, with renovations already completed on Via de Barcelona and Via Juan Vargas.

Garcia revealed that the next planned project will be on Via de la Coru?a, while new projects are also being planned on Via San Javier, Via Arcidona, Via October 19, Via Carlota Arete, and Via de Orient. He specifically pointed out that most of these lighting installations were built in the 1990s and urgently need renovation to meet current efficiency and sustainability standards.

Waterfront Promenade Lighting Upgrades Underway Simultaneously

In addition to the Via Salamanca project, the Malaga City Council also launched a lighting renovation project for the Paseo Marítimo (Waterfront Promenade), covering a 9,540-meter section from Río Real to Río Verde, with a comprehensive upgrade to electrical facilities and lighting energy efficiency. The simultaneous progress of these two projects reflects Malaga's systematic energy efficiency improvement strategy in the field of public lighting.
