New streetlights shine in Playa Blanca

Work has been carried out this week to replace damaged streetlights in the San Marcial del Rubicón area of Playa Blanca.

The initiative forms part of a wider strategy covering several parts of the tourist town, according to the Mayor of Yaiza, Óscar Noda.

“The work plan calls for the replacement of 390 streetlights in the Castillo del Águila partial plan next week,” said the mayor.

Yaiza Ayuntamiento’s energy efficiency programme has already resulted in a reduction of more than 50% in the electricity bill. In addition to street lighting and municipal offices, Yaiza is implementing other energy efficiency initiatives in outdoor public spaces, such as the La Degollada picnic area.

In this regard, Mayor Noda maintained that “the government’s efforts are not only aimed at maintaining and replacing damaged equipment, but also at continuing to expand photovoltaic installations.”
