The project, focused on providing light to the entrance road of Palamara Community and its streets, took place from April 2nd to April 5th, 2024, and involved the installation of autonomous solar lamps from the Merca Santo Domingo roundabout to the Palamara power plant.
The objective of this project is to illuminate the entrance road and main street of Palamara Community to prevent road accidents due to poor visibility, minimize crime risks, and prevent pedestrian accidents, such as children and teenagers who use the road to go to school and any citizen who may not be visible to drivers entering the Palamara power plant.
The installation of 75 autonomous solar lamps, distributed along the roads and streets of Palamara, has been arranged as follows:
| Route | Quantity | ||
| From the Merca SD roundabout to the entrance of Batey Palamara and the Community School. | 34 lamps | ||
