The councillor for
Innovation and Energy, Misericòrdia Ramon, and the general director for
Energy, Joan Perches, presented
on July 19 the draft for the Directive Sectorial Energy Plan for the Balearics (Energy Plan). Now, and until the end of
November, the Energy Plan is open to public inspection.
The Energy Plan determines mainly the energetic needs for the next 15 years and fixes the necessary infrastructure to supply this
demand and guarantee the supply, both of electricity and other forms of energy.
According to the
GOB in a press communiqué, the Energy Plan elaborated by the Balearic Government will permit the
continuation of the same developing urban model, as it contemplates that in the next 15 years the electric potency for the
Balearics will have increased by 75% and foresees the installation of groups of electric generators to go from 1,100 MW at
present to 1,900 MW in the Balearics. The ecological organisation thinks that it looks more like an Electric Plan rather than an
Energy Plan as it does not consider transport nor energy saving measures.
