The City of Ceuta can reduce up to 74.22 percent of its electricity bill thanks to the incorporation of the measures proposed in the energy audit conducted by the Institute of Development of the Region of Murcia (Info) within the framework of the European project Fuensanta-ELENA (European Local energy Assistance), designed to reduce energy consumption and emission of greenhouse gases.
Specifically, analysis of consumer habits in this municipality has determined that reducing the contracted power and changing luminaires to LED technology would reduce the consumption of 1.27 million kilowatts (kW) when current, representing a bill of 357,000 euros per year, about 600,000 kW per hour, which would mean a cost savings of about 265,000 euros a year.
The director of Info, Javier Celdrán, today presented the energy audit the mayor of Ceuta, Juan Felipe Cano, noting that "these energy audits already performed in eleven municipalities in the region, are the first step to reduce consumption energy in public administration because it allow a still picture of what are the consumptions and then make decisions and adopt the most appropriate measures, "he said.
In the case of Ceuta, the energy audit has inventoried 3,571 lights, 91 percent sodium vapor high pressure and dashboards 30, with a total installed capacity of 469.41 kW and an annual consumption of 1.27 million kW per hour, representing an annual cost of 357,000 euros.
The proposed measures include reducing the power contracted 68.8 percent, leaving 180 kW, a move that would decrease the cost of the fixed term of the contract and would be a more rational use of the facilities.
In addition, it is proposed to make an investment of 1.5 million euros, with a return period of five years and a half, to change all LED luminaires, leaving consumption about 600,000 kW hour and would mean energy savings of more than half of the kW hours consumed would result in a cost savings of 265,000 euros per year and would leave the annual bill by 92,000 euros a year.
ELENA-Fuensanta The project aims to mobilize an investment of 32 million euros, of those who have already committed eight million euros in energy efficiency measures to reduce energy consumption and reduce CO2 emissions.
"This European initiative is a demonstration of the commitment of regional government with the Europe 2020 agenda of the European Union, which includes cutting 20 percent of energy demand through energy efficiency actions, getting 20 percent of energy consumed from renewable and get a 20 percent reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases, "said the director of info.
Saving 4.5 million in the administrations
The ELENA-Fuensanta project is an initiative of the European Commission and the European Investment Bank (EIB) to support projects on energy efficiency and renewable energy, facilitating financing of Intelligent Energy for Europe to help regions and cities to put in up viable investment projects in the fields of energy efficiency, renewable energy and sustainable urban transport.
At present, there are now eleven municipalities that have signed agreements with info within the framework of this project for energy audits and take steps to reduce their energy impact measures.
Specifically, municipalities adhered to this initiative so far are: Ceuta, San Javier, Las Torres de Cotillas, Cehegín, Sewer, Eagles, Abarán, Alhama de Murcia, Jumilla, Totana and Albudeite.
In total, it is anticipated savings in the energy bill of the administrations of more than 4.5 million euros and a saving in energy consumption of at least 40 percent, and a reduction of CO2 emissions more 6,000 tons per year.
