The measures proposed in these audits, framed within the project 'Elena-Fuensanta', avoid the emission of 843 tons of CO2, equivalent to a forest the size of 43 football fields
The Institute of Development of the Region (Info) has carried out two energy audits to analyze the performance and energy consumption of street lighting and municipal buildings in the city of Alhama de Murcia.
The measures proposed in these audits, which are part of the European 'Elena-Fuensanta' (European Local Energy Assistance) project, which would mean a cost savings of 285,841 euros on the electricity bill of the council, in addition to reducing CO2 emissions by 863 tons , equivalent to have in the village a forest with an area of ​​43 football fields.
The director of Info, Javier Celdrán, today presented these two audits the mayor of Alhama de Murcia, Diego Conesa, noting that "the 'Elena-Fuensanta' project is allowing us to have a very detailed knowledge of the energy performance of administrations and in particular local, and use this information to propose measures for energy efficiency to enable further progress in the goals set in the Europe 20-20-20 strategy. "
To the municipality of Alhama de Murcia, most prominently the measure proposed in these audits, both from the point of view of savings and investment, is the replacement of the luminaries of the 4,371 points of light in the municipality and its districts LED technology .

The Alhama de Murcia is one of 14 municipalities committed to the European project 'Elena-Fuensanta, an initiative of the European Commission to combat climate change and progress in Europe 20-20-20 strategy, which is marked as aim to achieve savings of 20 percent in energy consumption by 2020 and a reduction of 20 percent in emissions of greenhouse gases and ensure that 20 percent of the energy consumed comes from renewable sources .
In the region, the 'Elena-Fuensanta' project has run 18 projects, the vast majority by municipalities, which involves an investment of 9,177,074 euros and an effective energy saving 8 million Kw / h, and generating 4 million Kw / h in renewable energy.
This means that with the measures carried out has been achieved stop emitting 2,640 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere, equivalent to the daily consumption of 1,500 cars on the roads in the region for a year.
