Kralendijk, September, 27 th 2024 – To enhance safety and sustainability on Bonaire, Water -en Energiebedrijf Bonaire (WEB), as project supervisor on behalf of the Public Entity Bonaire (OLB), is currently installing new LED street lighting throughout the island. This project, which involves the complete replacement of 1,000 streetlights, contributes to a safer and better illuminated environment for all residents.
Since the project began in 2023, WEB is now in the second phase of implementation. WEB has already completed 30% of this phase, which translates to the installation of 300 new LED streetlights in various neighborhoods. These new lights not only provide better visibility and safety but also contribute to a more sustainable energy use.
Neighborhoods already equipped with new LED street lighting include:
- Santa Rosa
- Wanapa: Kaya Wanapa, Kaya Bamba, Kaya Wiri, Kaya Karkó
- Selesie
- Kibrahacha
- Amboina
- Nikiboko: Kaya Macario Sint Jago, Kaya Avelino J. Cecilia, Kaya Pos di amor, Kaya Dominico J.R. Herrera, Kaya Andres A. Emerenciana

In the months of September and October, WEB will continue the installation of new LED street lighting on Bonaire. During this period, the following neighborhoods will be provided with sustainable and energy-efficient lighting:
