replacing the 400w sodium light bulbs with 250w light bulbs on the main streets and boulevards, and 150w bulbs with 70w bulbs in the neighbourhoods;

installing 72 Efiflux machines in the ignition posts that will reduce the tension from 230v to 190v and, implicitly the energy consumption, in certain time intervals (at night, after the hours with intense traffic);

modernization of the lighting network on a length of aproximately 179 km, by replacing old cables.
