City Solar Street Lights - City of Legazpi
  • Start year:
  • Type: Policy/Strategies/Action Plans
  • Status: In operation

This project aims to convert more than 1,200 street lights in the city from its grid connection to solar-powered lights. This action will reduce the city government expenses on electric bills and definitely reduce carbon emissions. The reduction in emissions will be determined once the city kicks off its baseline GHG Inventory in 2017, after the training to be provided by ICLEI SEAS early in December this year. Currently, the city government has already converted at least 8 percent of the city's street lights to solar power.
