Dénia saved 230.000 euros on the electricity bill in three years

January 16 from 2019 - 13: 12

In 2015 Dénia budgeted 1.350.000,00 € to deal with municipal lighting costs. Three years later, at 2018, the municipal budget allocated to electricity bills was 1.120.000,00 €. A saving of 230.000 euros in three years that, according to the councilor of finance, Paco Roselló, has been achieved thanks to the energy saving measures implemented by the consistory.

These figures were studied on Tuesday at a new open day held at the headquarters of the PSPV-PSOE that on this occasion it was about renewable energies.

Paco Roselló pointed out that "This legislature has laid the foundations for the energy transition by achieving through savings measures that we have not raised the electricity bill a cent in the last three years, despite the continuous increases of the supply company".

Measures for the Government Program

The expert in energy transition, Angel Ruiz, and Ana Ceballo, secretary of the local PSPV-PSOE executive of Dénia, proposed the measures that Dénia Socialists will include in their Government Program for the 2019.

For the Socialists of Dénia, the objective is that at first the City will put in place the necessary tools to implement the change of model to a more sustainable one, and then be able to extend it to the rest of the economic and social sectors of the city, such as the commercial, industrial or residential sector. Therefore, they propose the realization of energy saving projects in schools in the city, increase in tax credits for homes that bet on the use of renewable energy and a cross-sectional plan that increases savings and energy efficiency in the city.

Ruiz explained that "The reality is that the cost of basic energy supplies implies a cost between 5% and 10% of the budgets of most municipalities. This fact makes the items destined for energy supply one of the most important, so that a strategic, common look, and the formation of a transversal energy management team allow to implement very simple actions, and in many cases without economic cost, that have a direct economic saving, as well as a decrease in the consumption and emission savings In the processes carried out the direct savings detected are between 1% and 1,5% of the total expenditure, with an average of € 100.000 per municipality, which makes the diagnosis of a tool which instead of assuming an expense implies an investment that is recovered immediately ".
