Street Lighting: Safer Communities
136 solar streetlights installed across ten villages, 9 floodlight masts upgraded, 170 more planned.
Street lighting in Githunguri Ward is delivered through dedicated projects. 136 solar streetlights have already been installed across ten villages and nine floodlight masts upgraded, while a new phase of solar street lighting installations is currently under way across the ward.
Solar streetlights run independently of the electricity grid, which keeps them operating reliably during power outages while avoiding added electricity costs. Existing lights receive periodical maintenance across the ward.
