Estepona to Install 162 New Solar Streetlights

New solar-powered lighting will improve visibility and sustainability in seven coastal areas of Estepona, with 162 units set for installation

The installation of new solar streetlights across several coastal areas will enhance evening visibility and contribute to Estepona's sustainability goals, benefiting residents and visitors alike.

Coastal Corridor Illumination Project

Estepona Town Hall has awarded a contract for the supply and installation of 162 solar streetlights across seven zones of the municipal coastal corridor. The contract, worth €137,266.50, has been awarded to the company Roura Cevasa.

The winning bid included an additional 24 streetlights beyond the initially planned 138, bringing the total number of new luminaires to 162. The supply and installation are scheduled to take place within 45 days from the date the contract is signed.

These new streetlights will be distributed across seven specific areas along the coastal corridor, with numbers tailored to each location. Benamara will receive the largest share, with 61 units. Bahía Dorada beach will see 27 new streetlights installed.

Further installations include 13 streetlights in Guadalmansa, 12 in La Gaspara, 9 each in Avenida de México and Bahía Dorada III, and 7 in Isdabe. The additional 24 streetlights will be placed in other sections of the coastal corridor as identified by technicians. The project covers both the provision of the luminaires and all necessary installation work at these sites.

Sustainable Lighting Technology

The chosen streetlights feature solar technology, utilising solar radiation as their sole energy source. This system allows for lighting without needing to connect to the main electricity grid, promoting a more sustainable and environmentally friendly illumination solution.
