Provence Alpes Agglomération manages public lighting in 23 municipalities, including Digne-les-Bains, which has over 4,000 light points. For the past three years, a modernization program has aimed to improve the network's operation and reduce its energy consumption. In Digne-les-Bains, over €800,000 has been invested, with support from the State and the Region, enabling the replacement of 1,300 luminaires and nearly 200 poles.
Despite this work, some areas of the network remain fragile and sensitive to bad weather. In recent weeks, heavy rains and humidity have caused numerous malfunctions, with over 30 sector failures recorded in ten days. Humidity can lead to intermittent electrical faults, sometimes making it difficult to identify their origin and repair the affected installations.
Aware of the importance of public lighting for residents' daily lives, the agglomeration mobilizes its maintenance teams for every reported issue. Their intervention aims to locate the source of failures as quickly as possible and provide lasting solutions. Residents who notice a lighting outage in their street or neighborhood can report it to Provence Alpes Agglomération by phone at 04 92 32 05 05 or by email at contact@provencealpesagglo.fr. Each report helps identify malfunctions and improve the quality of the public lighting network.
