The Instituto de Fomento (Info) has carried out within the Elena-Fuensanta (European Local Energy Assistance) project of the European Commission, respective energy audits on public lighting system Sewer and energy consumption in municipal buildings.

After analysis, audits propose a series of energy efficiency measures that will allow the council save 859,516 euros a year in electricity bills.

Audits analyze the energy behavior of the main municipal buildings and public lighting of the city, and intend to make a number of improvements in lighting systems and thermal systems that will mean a reduction of CO2 emissions by 1,206 tons, equivalent to having a forest with an area of ​​60 football fields.
