Panama. In December 2013, with the support of the UN Environment, through the en.lighten program (with GEF funds) and the REGATTA Program (with funds from Spanish Cooperation), the Ministers of Energy of the countries of Central America and the Dominican Republic signed the Regional Strategy for Efficient Lighting. This strategy set out the steps that countries must take to make the transition to efficient lighting.
In this sense, there is significant potential to increase the efficiency of public lighting systems in Central America, reducing energy consumption and improving the quality of service, through the use of high-efficiency technology (LED technology).
This transition to LED technology in the public lighting of Latin American cities provides reductions in electricity consumption of more than 40% and, consequently, reduces electricity generation and C02 emissions, as well as the amount of the electricity bill of public lighting, freeing up economic resources that can be invested in other areas of development.
In this context, Panama City wants to carry out a technical, economic and financial feasibility study to transform the city's public lighting into LED technology.
To do this, it launches an offer for the hiring of a consultant to prepare said project, which it calculates to be six months, with a tentative start date of March 1 until August 31, 2017. This consulting work would be paid between 28,000 and 34,000 euros and preferably the contractor is based at the UN Environment Regional Office in Panama City, although other options could also be considered.
