Solar Energy
Since 2005 Spain has made huge efforts to make use of something that they have in abundance – free sunshine. Spain is now the second highest producer of solar energy in Europe with most of the solar farms being located in most southerly province of Andalucía.
The Marbella council has identified 30 buildings which would be suitable to have solar panels installed in a move to cut costs and use the free clean energy. Many of the municipal markets, schools, sports centres and council warehouses have been identified as being suitable and a number of businesses in the energy sector have expressed an interest in working with the council.
Gas supplies
After five years since it was first planned Marbella is finally about to get natural gas. No longer will it be necessary for residents and business’s to have those orange gas containers delivered or for the container to run out in the middle of cooking or taking a shower.
The work will cost 11 million Euros and involve more nearly 100 kilometres of pipeline. The work is due to start in the area of Nueva Andalucía first and then move east into Puerto Banus and Marbella town itself.
