Energy service company (ESCO) contracts
These are public-private partnership projects, based on financing works through the energy savings obtained during the first phase of remodelling a municipality’s public lighting installation.
SICE offers an advanced, smart control and management platform, developed in-house and tailored to the needs of each client and project, known as SIDERA Lighting. This platform is able to monitor in real time the operation of the installed systems and equipment that manage the lighting, detecting possible problems and offering optimal corrective and preventive measures.

The benefits of these contracts lie mainly in terms of energy savings and their translation intoCO2emission savings. Another of the main benefits is the adaptation of the lighting to the real needs of each of the roads that are lit. Thanks to the first phase of the contract involving implementation of the project, serving as the basis for the entire project. Lastly, thanks to the implementation of systems to generate alerts and incidents, the citizen is involved and a connection is established between SICE and the road user.
The savings obtained by SICE in this type of contract are between 50% and 70%. In this type of contract, SICE implements a technology capable of regulating the power current supplied to the luminaires, thus adapting the lighting needs of each city/street to the demands or particular habits of each case. By applying this technology, SICE has managed to boost energy savings to figures very close to 80%, with the guarantee that the lighting levels established by the standard are met, and always guaranteeing the safety of both pedestrians and vehicles on our streets.
