New points of light in Pintor Sobejano street
The councilor for Urban Development and Modernization of the Administration, José Guillén, visited Pintor Sobejano Street this morning, where the luminaires are being renovated for other ultra-low-consumption, latest-generation lights.
Specifically, this artery of the Plano de San Francisco, at the entrance to Murcia, is being renovated, with the installation of 42 LED technology light points, which will go from having a total power of 11,550 W to 3,150 W, which means a reduction of the installed power of 8,400 W and an economic saving of 3,700 euros per year.
Likewise, the installation of the new low-consumption light points on this avenue at the entrance to Murcia will reduce the emission of 13 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere.
The councilor explains that "with these improvements it contributes to slowing down climate change, since this technology reduces consumption and the emission of carbon dioxide, which is a commitment to the quality of life of the residents."
