The Vitebsk municipal enterprise "Gorsvet" is set to replace old lamps with LED ones throughout the city by 2026. As of January 1, this work has been completed by more than 56 percent. This was reported by the enterprise's director, Vasily Belousov.
According to him, a total of approximately 31.8 thousand luminaires were subject to replacement:
– The replacement of luminaires will allow the city to save electricity at least three times over. In 2023, 7 thousand lamps were replaced. As of January 1, more than 56 percent, or 17.8 thousand luminaires, have been updated, with about 14 thousand remaining. For this year, 346 thousand rubles have been allocated to the enterprise for these purposes.
The modernization of the vehicle fleet will help accelerate the replacement of old lamps with LED ones. Today, two new VIPO-18-01 aerial platforms based on MAZ "Cornet" vehicles, manufactured by the "Vitstroytekhmash" enterprise, were handed over to the "Gorsvet" municipal enterprise. The keys to the brand-new special equipment, purchased with funds from the Vitebsk City Executive Committee, were presented by the mayor, Gennady Sabynich:
– Vitebsk enterprises are actively involved in modernizing their special equipment fleet. The quality of services provided to the public depends on this. Today is a landmark day for the "Gorsvet" enterprise. In just a few months, the fleet of aerial platforms has doubled, which will allow for faster execution of work on lighting courtyards, central highways, and the construction of new lighting in residential areas.
