South American municipalities implement LED lighting upgrades
Various municipalities and utility companies in South America are advancing public lighting modernization through LED technology to improve energy efficiency and security.
In Peru, ENOSA installed 16,981 LED luminaires between January and August 2026 across the Piura and Tumbes departments. The initiative aims to modernize public roads and provide better protection against weather events like heavy rains and strong winds associated with El Niño.
In Bolivia, the Colcapirhua Mayoralty is nearing 100% LED coverage after installing 7,273 units across five districts. The new system features intelligent management, including automatic intensity reduction during early morning hours, and is reported to reduce energy consumption by 60%.
In Argentina, the Municipality of Paraná has reached 89% LED coverage through its 'Paraná 100% LED' plan. Recent works in the Parque del Lago neighborhood included the installation of new columns made from a plastic and fiber combination designed to prevent cable theft. The transition offers energy savings exceeding 50% compared to traditional systems.
