Torrevieja Council has completed a programme of upgrades to public lighting in several parts of the municipality, with a total investment of 381,800 euros. The works focused on repairing, cleaning, painting and protecting street‑light columns that were in poor condition. In total, 377 columns were repaired and 70 were replaced after being identified by technical teams as unsafe or at risk of failure.

The council has also improved energy efficiency by installing 147 new LED luminaires. The upgrades were carried out in Aldea del Mar near Playa de los Locos, in Manzanilla Street in the Las Barcas area, and in Escorpiones Street at the former La Campana estate.

Alongside the completed works, the Local Government Board awarded a new contract on 12 December for the installation of additional lighting points in areas lacking coverage or requested by residents. Locations include Eugenio Segarra Street, Gardenias Street, green areas near Patricio Pérez Street by the N‑332, stretches of Rosa Mazón Valero Avenue, Plaza de las Islas Canarias and Orihuela Street by the CV‑905.

The contract, initially tendered at 222,508 euros, was awarded for 176,233 euros. The successful bidder, Sociedad Ibérica de Construcciones Eléctricas S.A., will also install 46 point‑to‑point telemanagement units. The project is expected to be completed within three months.
