This study aims to identify the reality of accepting the replacement of traditional poles with solar lighting poles. This paper illustrates how the utilization of renewable energy technologies contributes to the reduction of public network consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. It influences the decision-makers the benefit and importance of using solar lighting poles. Furthermore, it aims to clarify the need for exploiting solar energy as a clean and renewable energy source that contributes to maximising the economic, environmental and social return for sustainable development (2030) while also taking into account the rights of future generations. The work in this paper demonstrates how to use and localize solar cell poles that depend on sunlight. It was conducted on the coastal road that extends from the Dafniyeh Gate until Qasr Al-Akhyar area with a distance of 120 km, where 3428 conventional electricity poles were dispensed and, as a result, 2742.4 MW megawatts of consumed energy were saved. Consequently, there was a monetary saving of 1599397.68 Libyan dinars, coupled with the avoidance of an annual emission of 7108300.8 tons of carbon dioxide due to combustion. Keywords: lighting poles, solar energy, renewable energies, carbon dioxide emissions.
