The Governing Board today approved the award of the power supply contract of the City of Murcia, which, for the first time, includes in the specifications the requirement to be supplied entirely from sustainable energy sources.
It is an innovation that responds to the commitment to take care of the environment and stop the advance of climate change, and that will allow Murcia to consolidate as a municipality more energy efficient, better lit and more thrifty.
The cost of the contract amounts to 19 million euros for a period between the end of April - when the current one ends - until November 30, 2020.
The award is processed in three lots: one for temporary supplies, another for the consumption of municipal buildings and the third for the supply of public lighting.
In all cases, 100% of the energy supplied must be clean (solar, wind, etc.), without the presence of fossil fuels.
The City Council manages more than 600 buildings and municipal facilities and the extensive public lighting network -one of the largest in Spain-, which has more than 90,000 points of light and an installed capacity of more than 11MW.
According to a study by the Local Energy Agency of Murcia, this dimension means that its electricity consumption accounts for 4% of the total registered in the municipality.
The company awarded the contract is Nexus Energía, SA
