Fundacion Natura / Energreen - Galápagos Tortoise Shelter Lighting Pilot

View Project Profile (PDF)

Project Initiation Date: September 2003
Estimated Completion Date: May 2004
Homes Lit: 10 tortoise shelters (20 lamps)

Fundacion Natura and Energreen co-sponsored a mid-scale solar powered grid initiative to provide renewable energy to power select areas on the island of Cerro Colorado, San Cristobal, and Galapaguera on the Galapagos Islands of Ecuador. In conjunction with this effort LUTW provided lamps for 10 tortoise shelters in the Tortoise Conservation Centre of Cerro Colorado, San Cristobal, and Galapaguera.

An independent energy assessment and utility of LUTW’s lamps was conducted and found to be very favorable. LUTW is in preliminary discussions with the proponents to expand LED lighting in future phases of the project.
