Streetlights to be switched off for the summer
Published: 5.6.2025
Street lighting will be turned off in Vaasa from 3 June to 1 August. Only the city centre will remain lit during the summer months.
The lights may occasionally be on during weekdays even in summer due to testing related to maintenance work, and sporadically during weekend nights to help remove moisture from lamps and cables.
In June and July, the average duration of dusk and darkness at night is around five hours, from 23.00 to 5.30.
The streetlights are turned off to save costs. Switching off the lights during the summer saves energy and approximately €20,000.
