Quintana Roo’s Estate Governor Félix González Canto has declared to install 25,507 GE’s Evolve™ LED street lights in the municipality of Othón P. Blanco at the 16th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP16) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

The project supports the Mexican government’s Special 2010-2012 Climate Change Program to mitigate environmental impacts by reducing the municipality’s energy usage by 29,218,980 million watts per year.
 
The resulting greenhouse gas emission reduction would be the equivalent of taking the approximately 40,000 cars that operate throughout Othón Blanco off the roads in a 10-year period.
 
The 25,507 GE LED lighting systems will generate estimated energy savings of 51% for the town.

As completed, the project will be the largest installation of LED streetlights in Latin America.
