DiTNE is a partner in the “ProLIGHTmed – Progressive solutions in greener optimization of public lighting in the EURO-MED area” project, co-financed by the Interreg Euro-MED 2021–2027 program.  

Dedicated to promoting adaptation to climate change through the optimization of energy efficiency solutions for public lighting in the Euro-MED area, the ProLIGHTmed project is led by the Municipality of Tuzi (Montenegro) and involves 7 other partners:  

• Agenzia per l’Energia e l’Ambiente di Arrábida – ENA (Portogallo)
• Unione delle Autorità Bulgare del Mar Nero (Bulgaria)

• Banca Cooperativa di Kardista L.L.C (Grecia)
• Greenesco Energy Services (Grecia)
• Comune di Rethymnon (Grecia)
• LEZHA INVEST (Albania) 

The project supports an approach that integrates technical, socioeconomic, and environmental aspects into the planning and implementation of local energy plans, with the aim of contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions in public lighting across the Euro-MED area.  

The expected results of the project are: 

• Promote energy efficiency and the reduction of CO2 emissions in public lighting through the adoption of a joint strategy based on the results obtained from the implementation of the project’s pilot actions; 
• Develop an intervention methodology that includes funding for environmentally friendly public lighting optimization projects and investments;
• Disseminate effective solutions based on tested activities, capable of being transferred and replicated both inside and outside the Programme area. 

The activities of the ProLIGHTmed project began on January 1, 2024, and will end on September 30, 2026, for a total duration of 33 months.  

Total project budget: €2,949,785.00 (Interreg funds: €2,359,828.00)
