PanARMENIAN.Net - The village of Arpi in Armenia's Vayots Dzor province will welcome the New Year with a new street lighting system. Owing to the cooperation of the Foundation for the Preservation of Wildlife and Cultural Assets (FPWC) and VivaCell-MTS, which is aimed at the development of infrastructures in various settlements within their joint eco-village network program, the situation that formed following the collapse of the USSR is now in the past.
Construction works in Arpi began in late summer 2018. About 2 km long territory along the main streets of the village is now equipped with energy-efficient technologies of illumination. A completely new system with 51 LED floodlights has been set up.
The installation of outdoor energy-efficient lighting systems in communities rich in wildlife species is one of the first steps aimed at establishing eco-village networks in Armenia. Through this, it will be possible to integrate those villages into an important process of transformation based on environmental, economic, cultural and social components.
