The Provincial Council of Granada supports the development of new energy production technologies that can bring about environmental improvements, that promote the local economy, and that use indigenous resources available in the province.
Therefore, through the activity carried out by the Provincial Energy Office of Granada, work is being carried out to provide more and better advice to Granada’s municipalities, fundraising is being undertaken to promote investment and information and dissemination of existing possibilities to the public is being carried out.
Among the different activities developed by the Provincial Council of Granada through the Provincial Energy Office of Granada, support is given to any initiative that may result in the promotion of new activities that help to export technology and create wealth among the participating parties.
In the province of Granada we mainly have important resources of Sun, Wind, and Biomass, although the Geothermal and Water resources of the province are not negligible. The existing potential can be analysed in the Atlas of Renewable Energies of the province of Granada, which states that it is very important to make the most of the local resources that we have, in order to minimise imports, reduce our environmental impact and promote the local economy (for example, photovoltaic production in Granada is very high because in our area there are two uncommon factors: many hours of sunshine a year and a lot of cold during most of the year).
This website provides some key questions to guide you in this new framework, unknown to a large part of the population but essential for understanding both the transcendental changes that are taking place and the resistance that is hindering and slowing them down.
