What will you be financing?

LIC Sustainable Solutions is a multinational enterprise with offices in Europe and Latin America. The company develops, designs, produces, and executes energy efficiency projects, primarily focusing on smart cities and intelligent street lighting.

LIC is executing a public lighting modernization project in Santiago de Cali, Colombia. This campaign aims to fund this project further.

This is LIC's eigth campaign. The promotor first successfully raised 500.000€ in Smart City Lighting I and II, for a similar project in the municipality of Villavicencio, where 6.000+ LED luminaires were successfully installed improving the quality of lighting of a large part of this municipality.

In May 2023, the promotor was contracted by EMCALI, a local Cali service provider, to start supplying sustainable and efficient LED street lighting luminaires to replace the old, polluting, and inefficient sodium system. The project included the installation of 14.000 smart LED luminaires in the city of Cali, which hopes to become a Smart City and was funded by the two Goparity campaigns amounting to 500.000€ ( Smart City Lighting III and Smart City Lighting IV). 

The promoter's contract with EMCALI was subsequently extended, with an order for a further 7.000 luminaires (out of a total order of 15.523 luminaires, representing a value of approximately 2.9M€), which were partially funded with 775.000€ through the campaign Smart Street Lighting V, VI and VII and will be additionally funded through the present campaign.

The luminaires are ready to be integrated into a smart city, working as a wireless communication base. In the last three years, the company supplied more than 20,000 luminaires to different municipalities in Colombia. 

What is the impact?

Direct

  • Improvement in public lighting efficiency: LIC's smart LED lights can be programmed to illuminate at set times of the day and to increase or decrease lighting according to the presence of people and vehicles in the streets. This enables a more energy-efficient use of cities’ light systems, allowing cities to save up to 80% in energy consumption, reduce CO2 emissions, and limit light pollution while maintaining citizens’ safety. After the first 14.000 streetlights were installed serving as the initial infrastructure for Cali to become a Smart City, this campaign will complete the funding to produce the smart LED luminaires requested by the client that will be installed during 2024. 

Indirect

  • Improving community well-being: safe and well-lighted public spaces play an essential role for communities, increasing access, interaction, and inclusion, resulting in improved community well-being.
