Historical context and verified benefits
Edenorte has prioritized public lighting in past holidays, with similar operations in 2024 that reduced complaints about darkness by 30%, according to internal data. Urbanism experts highlight that well-lit streets dissuade robberies and improve commerce, aligning with sustainable development goals in the Dominican Republic.
This year, the operation eliminated dark points in road corridors and neighborhoods, benefiting thousands of families. Technical planning ensures sustainability, with photocells for energy saving and LED substitutions for durability.
The operation guarantees safer public spaces, especially in times of high social activity, indicates the official statement from Edenorte.
The intervention of more than 8,700 luminaries reiterates the role of Edenorte in community well-being, preventing crimes and facilitating coexistence in these five provinces during the Christmas 2025.
