The city center and the western districts of Rennes were not entitled to public lighting Monday night. At least, not before 1am. A malfunction plunged the Breton capital into the dark. From the Place de Bretagne to Cleunay, all the streets were deprived of public lighting.
"A very rare incident"
Contacted, Enedis specifies that it was not a problem of feeding electric but the simple malfunction of a sensor. This device, connected to the substation, captures the light and sends a signal when the brightness becomes too low, to trigger the lighting. But Monday night, it did not work. "A very rare incident," according to Enedis, who was able to turn on the light again around 1am on the night of Monday to Tuesday.

Neighborhoods in the dark every night
In certain districts, the city of Rennes already extinguishes the street lighting part of the night to limit its power consumption but also to reduce its light footprint. Several cities of the metropolis
