EDP Distribuição, as distribution system operator (DSO), has been developing, in close collaboration with City Councils, an ambitious replacement program of the existing Public Lighting (PL) by the new LED technology. This paper aims to present the state of art of the implementation and the multiple efforts that have been made to promote a consistent, innovative and efficient program, particularly in the field of Power Quality (PQ).PQ is a key element to a DSO, so, to understand the technical
