The secretary of the PSOE in Lorca, Diego José Mateos, recalled that currently the General Plan does not contemplate the possibility of exploitation of part of an industrial building on which there is granted a license for an activity different from that of solar energy production PV

The secretary of the PSOE in Lorca, Diego José Mateos, warned today of the difficulties they are having some employers Lorca to install solar photovoltaic panels on the roofs and ceilings of industrial buildings.

These facilities are intended not only to consumption, but also provide surplus electricity to a distributor, so that their owners or tenants receive a payment in a regulated rate.

Therefore, Mateos requested that the City appropriate to regulate the commercial use of this energy as currently the General Municipal Plan of Arrangement does not contemplate the possibility of exploitation of part of an industrial building on which there is granted a license to a different activity the production of photovoltaic solar energy.

The Socialist leader said that since the PSOE "We are aware that the PGMO, is a fully valid and current document."

However, the dates on which it was drafted and adopted "without requiring the considerable technological progress on renewable energy, particularly solar energy, which has taken in recent years.

Therefore, what is proposed is that consideration be given to proceed with an amendment to the PGMO, so your planning regulations expressly permitted and regulated this dual activity on the same warehouse.

According to Matthew, "We believe it would be a structural modification under Article 149 of TRLSRM, giving it a more agile handling."

Under this amendment would facilitate PGMO entrepreneurs the opportunity to exploit a new source of funding, which will generate income that they receive remuneration for the lease, assignment of the flight or other forms of transfer, or by the yields they obtain.

In addition, this industrial installation and operation of photovoltaic solar energy can become a source of revenue for the City Council of Lorca, and new resources that would be generated by licensing and other items.

And finally, would be a first step towards the effective implementation of Local Agenda 21 which is the instrument that cities are equipped to move towards more sustainable communities, ie more efficient and saving, cleaner and healthier, more inclusive and solidarity, cities seeking to improve the quality of life and wellbeing of all its citizens through the maximum respect for the environment and its resources.

Moreover, according to Matthew, in the current economic crisis that is affecting both the industrial sector of Lorca, this regulation would be the incorporation of the municipality to new ways to diversify and change the production system, because it would cause an improvement competitiveness, promoting innovation capacity of enterprises, and energy efficiency savings and possible revenue and finance industries through the many types of subsidies and government support of any kind that will be launched with the approval by the Parliament of the Law of Sustainable Economy.

Finally, he adds, should take this amendment to regulate all aspects of solar energy installations in general, such as distances to boundaries, minimum lot or additional facilities, which for the same reasons as above, not covered by the General Plan.
