Clean Energy Transition Agenda<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][\/vc_column][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-8″][vc_column_text]
\nLa Palma was selected in February 2019 as one of the 6 pilot islands of the European Commission’s Clean energy for EU islands initiative. The selection involved, among other things, technical support to write a participatory Transition Agenda. This is our first version of the Agenda:

Energy situation on La Palma<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][\/vc_column][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-8″][vc_column_text]Below you can find a selection of 5 graphs<\/strong> to help illustrate the current electricity situation on the island. Note that this data relates to electricity only<\/strong>, and therefore does not include fossil energy used for transport or other non-electricity uses.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” z_index=”” css=”.vc_custom_1538469930553{padding-top: 88px !important;padding-bottom: 23px !important;}”][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-4″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Demand & Consumption<\/h2>\n

The current situation of electricity generation on La Palma, as can be seen in this first graph, is one of high dependency<\/strong> on the thermal power plant \u201cLos Guinchos\u201d<\/strong>, with its diesel engines providing almost 90% of the island’s electricity in 2019.
