In August 2017, a solar street lighting project was installed along a 11.8 km area in Wadi Sidr , drastically improving safety conditions on these roads. The installation of the street lights not only improved visibility at night, it brought area lighting to more than 800 homes that are situated along the road.
The government provided 808 MERITSUN solar street light rechargeable lithium-ion lithium-ion batteries for the project.
