The month of April culminates an 8-month collaborative process that has allowed us to complete, together with the technical team of the environment area of the Diputación de Girona, the Drafting of the Energy Transition Plan for the regions of Girona (2030). This document provides a clear roadmap to align and coordinate the work of the different agents in the territory, focusing efforts on concrete actions that allow achieving the emission reduction targets for 2030. This transition is a complex process that involves the substitution of fossil fuels for renewables, and the change from a centralized (with large generation plants) and unidirectional model, to a distributed model in which the deployment of resources occurs at different levels and the energy flows are bidirectional. The process of development and preparation of the strategic plan was carried out in 8 thematic work sessions. These sessions provided the appropriate environment to carry out an intense work of prospecting the environment, contrasting with more than 90 experts on administration and governance, communication, education, industries and businesses of the main economic activities of the region, as well as experts in energy management and renewable energy projects, such as biomass, biogas, photovoltaics, and energy communities. The main actions that were prioritized during the work sessions and that contribute to the elaboration of the plan are:
  • promotion of renewable energies such as biomass and biogas, applied to energy communities and heat networks
  • communication strategies, training sessions, advice to specific economic activity areas
  • management of an energy data observatory
  • promotion of governance systems suitable for the territory
Finally, to provide coherence and facilitate the fulfillment of its objectives and the assessment of its impact, indicators focused on saving energy consumption and carbon emissions were established. With the methodology followed in the elaboration of this strategic plan, the opinions and wills of associations, companies, government and society as a whole have been taken into account, guiding the process effectively. Thanks to the collaborative work developed by the Símbiosy team together with our collaborators Km0 energy, the Diputación de Girona has a collective roadmap, with concrete actions to achieve the desired 55% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, ensuring the transition towards a greener and more resilient energy future.   width=
