“Smart public lighting solutions are increasingly becoming part of the concern of local administrations to ensure an efficient management of the security and comfort needs of the communities served, but also of the local budget. The annual electricity consumption for this purpose is cut, on average, by 60%, and in some cases it can reach up to 80%, thanks to the implementation of the telemanagement system. We are glad that local administrations, as well as public companies, are open to adopting various solutions for energy efficiency and trust in the turnkey solutions that Enel X România can provide,” said Dorin Petrișor Chisăliță, Head of E-City, Enel X România.
