The Principality is pursuing its commitment to energy efficiency as part of its energy transition.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

From today, 6 January 2025, the Direction de l’Am\u00e9nagement Urbain (DAU – Department of Urban Amenities) will begin a new phase of modernising street lighting in all the Dorsale tunnels.<\/p>\n\n

Monaco has been gradually replacing fluorescent and sodium lamps in its tunnels with LED lights since 2021. LEDs consume much less energy and have a considerably longer lifespan of up to 100,000 hours. The changeover means less frequent replacements, less waste and fewer road closures due to maintenance.<\/p>\n\n

The new lighting is already in place in tunnels that have been renovated, including Sainte-D\u00e9vote-D\u00e9barcad\u00e8re and Digue. The new phase is now focusing on the other Dorsale tunnels.<\/p>\n\n
