The enterprise has more than 200,000 luminaires on its balance sheet, about 120,000 of which are used for street lighting. Currently, approximately 45% of street luminaires already operate on LEDs.
The city lighting system is fully automated. Its operation is monitored by photocells — light sensors that constantly control the light level, said Yauhen Stasyalovich, chief engineer of "Mingorsvet".
In 2026, it is planned to replace 11.8 thousand gas-discharge street luminaires with modern LED ones. The transition of Minsk's entire street network to more energy-efficient lighting is planned to be completed by 2030.
