In the context of the Streetlight-EPC project, regional facilitation services supported municipalities and (potential) ESCOs in preparing and implementing streetlight refurbishment projects with EPC. Support was also offered for indoor lighting /building-related energy efficiency measures within companies and organisations.

This page presents examples of lighting refurbishment projects that have been implemented in the project regions.
