South Tyrol is a land of innovation and sustainability, where companies are always looking for ways to optimise costs and reduce environmental impact. Upgrading lighting systems represents a concrete opportunity to achieve these goals, but often the initial investment can seem like an obstacle.

Fortunately, there are numerous funding opportunities and incentives that can make this transition easier and more cost-effective.

Regional incentives in South Tyrol

The Autonomous Province of Bolzano offers various incentives for companies investing in energy efficiency, including non-repayable contributions and subsidised financing. Among the main active incentives are:

  • Provincial energy efficiency grants: financing for companies that improve the efficiency of their facilities, including lighting.
  • Revolving Fund for SMEs: possibility of obtaining loans at subsidised rates for energy efficiency measures.

To access these incentives, an application must be submitted to the Autonomous Province of Bolzano, demonstrating the improvement in energy efficiency through a technical analysis.

National incentives for lighting retrofitting

At the national level there are several support measures for companies that want to improve their industrial lighting:

  • Tax credit for investment in capital goods: companies can benefit from a tax deduction for the purchase and installation of new high-efficiency lighting equipment.
  • White Certificates (TEE – Titoli di Efficienza Energetica): incentives dedicated to interventions that result in demonstrable energy savings.

Case studies: success stories in South Tyrol

In order to concretely demonstrate the advantages of lighting retrofitting and the effectiveness of incentives, we would like to share some success stories of South Tyrolean companies that have chosen to invest in this direction.

  • Iveco Group

Iveco Group needed an intervention to drastically reduce energy consumption in its Bolzano plant. The existing plant was obsolete, with high maintenance costs and lighting that no longer met the required efficiency and safety standards.

We designed and implemented a complete redevelopment, taking care of:

    • Executive lighting design, to ensure maximum lighting efficiency
    • Replacement of old technology with latest generation LEDs
    • Project management, installation and final testing
    • As-built documentation, for certification of the intervention

The company achieved annual energy savings of over 80%, reducing operating costs and significantly improving the quality of light in the production departments.

  • Röchling Group

Röchling Group contacted us to improve the energy efficiency of their warehouse in Laives, where the lighting was uneven and consumption was high. The objective was to optimise the layout of the luminaires, reduce the installed power and comply with regulatory parameters.

After an in-depth technical analysis, we implemented:

    • Reducing the number of luminaires, while maintaining the same lighting levels
    • Optimised the installed power, with high-efficiency LEDs
    • Ensured compliance with regulations by improving light uniformity

The intervention resulted in an annual energy saving of 80%, with improved light distribution and reduced running costs.

  • GardaPower

GardaPower needed a more efficient lighting system to improve visual comfort and safety inside the Riva del Garda plant. The objective was to achieve higher light output with reduced consumption.

We developed a tailor-made solution, which included:

    • A lighting system with increased output, reducing power consumption
    • An improvement in visual comfort, thanks to more natural and uniform light
    • Increased safety for workers, with optimised lighting in operational areas

The company achieved annual savings of 89%, minimising energy waste and improving the quality of the working environment.
