The Governing Council has approved the direct granting of a grant of 7,821,701 euros to eighteen municipalities for the execution of the 'Plan for optimization and energy diversification in municipal public buildings'
Governing Council of May 27, 2021
Castile and Leon | Ministry of Economy and Finance
The Junta de Castilla y León has approved direct subsidies to 18 city councils in the mining basins of León and Palencia, for a value of 7,821,701 to carry out a plan of energy optimization and diversification actions in municipal public facilities.
This subsidy is processed after the signature of the specific agreement signed by the Ministry of Economy and Finance with the Institute for the Just Transition within the projects corresponding to the Framework of Action for Coal Mining 2013-2018.
The project consists of carrying out optimization, diversification and energy efficiency actions in public buildings: nursery schools, indoor swimming pools, libraries and cultural houses, music schools, sports centers, pensioners' homes, post office buildings, town hall houses, campsites, medical offices and other municipal public centers.
The purpose of these actions is to promote an improvement for the alternative development of the coal mining regions, specifically of the 18 mining municipalities, 14 of the province of León: Berlanga del Bierzo, Cabrillanes, Cistierna, Fabero, Igüeña, La Robla, Matallana de Torío, Páramo del Sil, San Emiliano, Torre del Bierzo, Vega de Espinareda, Vegacervera, Villablino, Villagatón, and 4 municipalities in the province of Palencia: Cervera de Pisuerga, Guardo, Santibáñez de la Peña and Velilla del Río Carrión.
The project will be executed in three annual installments: 5 million euros in 2021; 2.2 million in 2022; and almost 600,000 euros in 2023.
The Board has previously promoted three other endowment plans for mining municipalities worth 6 million euros in energy saving actions, specifically, in the renewal of outdoor public lighting and renewable energies.
With this last plan, the commitment of the Junta de Castilla y León is fulfilled together with the mining municipalities in the application of funds to saving and energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy resources, which will directly generate savings in the municipal spending and therefore, of primary energy consumption and consequently of CO2
