“Progressive solutions in greener optimization of public lighting in EURO- MED area”
Municipality of Tuzi is Lead Partner in the ProLIGHTmed project, entitled “Progressive solutions in greener optimization of public lighting in EURO-MED area”.
The project, funded by the Interreg Euro-MED Programme 2021-2027, under the “Greener MED” programme priority, is dedicated to advancing the adaptation to climate change by optimizing and facilitating energy efficiency solutions for public lighting in the EURO-MED area, in order to foster greener living spaces.
ProLIGHTmed is led by the Municipality of Tuzi (Montenegro) and involves 7 partners from different countries:
– Energy and Environment Agency of Arràbida (Portugal)
– Union of Bulgarian Black Sea Local Authorities (Bulgaria)
– Municipality of Lezhë (Albania)
– Peyia Municipality (Cyprus)
– City of Kaštela (Croatia)
– National Energy Technological Cluster (Italy)
– Renewable and Sustainable Energy Lab – Technical University of Crete (Greece)
Furthermore, the project includes other 7 associated organizations:
– Utility Company Tuzi LTD (Montenegro)
– The Environmental Protection Fund (Eco-fund) (Montenegro)
– City of Setúbal (Portugal)
– Cooperative Bank of Karditsa L.L.C (Greece)
– Greenesco Energy Services (Greece)
– Municipality of Rethymnon (Greece)
– LEZHA INVEST (Albania)
The project emphasizes a comprehensive approach that integrates technical, socio-economic, and environmental aspects into the planning and execution of local energy strategies, in the perspective of contributing to reduce CO2 emissions in public lighting across the Euro-MED region. Therefore, the expected results of the project are:
• Enhanced energy efficiency and reduced CO2 emissions in public lighting,
thanks to a jointly developed strategy and implementation tools;
• A methodology for financing these optimizations, which includes
engagement with the banking sector and establishing subsidy schemes
for public lighting investments;
• The scaling of solutions based on tested activities and the implementation
of a knowledge transfer campaign aimed at optimizing public lighting
across the region.
The ProLIGHTmed project activities began on January 1, 2024, and will end on
September 30, 2026, for a total project duration of 33 months.
Project budget: 2.949.785,00 € (Interreg Funds: 2.359.828,00 €)
