translated from Spanish: Changing luminaires in Morelia has generated a saving of 50%

Morelia, Michoacán.- Until the break on February 24, the municipality of Morelia ensures that a total of 74 thousand 890 LED luminaires of the 75 thousand 149 that are in the whole city are installed with the program Juntos Iluminando Morelia.
In press conference, Raúl Morón Orozco, mayor of Morelia, assured that this has been done with a budget of 270 million pesos to be paid to the company Sola Basic, which has won a public tender and that so far the city council registers savings of up to 50% of monthly electricity payment, from 18 million 415 thousand 551 pesos to only 9 million 361 thousand 580 pesos.
The area of Morelia where the renovation of the public lighting system still needs to be done is the Historic Center and the building calculated that by 30 March it must be ready and thus end this program.
He acknowledged that there may be failing luminaires and therefore invited citizens to detect problems in their streets or colonies to report it for personnel to do the renovation of the floodlights.
With these results, Morón Orozco assured that the perception of security in some colonies, especially the periphery has improved, since many people closed their businesses early or avoided walking because of the lack of lighting.
