The Community will implement energy efficiency measures for smart and sustainable reconstruction six districts of Lorca (05/11/2016)

Energy audits be performed to identify actions to reduce consumption, such as installing LED lights in street lighting or telemanagement systems

The Ministry of Public Works and Infrastructure, in collaboration with the Ministry of Economic Development, Tourism and Employment implement energy efficiency measures and renewable energy in urban renewal actions to be carried out in six districts of Lorca.

Its goal is to complete a sustainable and intelligent reconstruction of the neighborhoods of San Fernando;
