The Lusaka City Council (LCC) has partnered with a Polish company, LUG to implement a pilot project of public street lights on two selected streets in Lusaka.
The public lighting solution will provide on-grid and off-grid solar lighting which has an integrated smart lighting management system that will create sustainable power supply.
LCC Public Relations Manager, Chola Mwamba, said this when the LUG team paid a courtesy on LCC town clerk in Lusaka today.
“The project is scheduled to be implemented before the end of this year and the local authority is happy to partner with a specialized company like LUG to illuminate part of the city as it will address the issues of road safety,” said Ms. Mwamba in a statement issued to RCV News in Lusaka today.
She said that the off-grid, solar powered lighting is made of high quality components and will also cushion the power demand from the national grid.
Meanwhile LUG Light Factory Director, Engineering Markets, Michal Lupkowski, said the pilot project for public street lights is a starting point to showcase their high quality products and the company is looking forward to invest on a larger scale in the lighting system in Zambia.
