The Provincial Council of A Coruña and the Galician Technological Institute (ITG) have signed an agreement worth €495,750 to reduce energy consumption and expenditure in the province's municipalities, particularly those with fewer than 20,000 inhabitants.

The Diputación de A Coruña is contributing €396,600, 80% of the total investment, to enhance the efficiency of public facilities and promote the use of clean energy. Smaller municipalities will receive technical advice to review their electricity billing, detect issues, and identify saving measures.
ITG's technical team will collaborate with the Diputación's Office for Energy Transition to analyze municipal electricity bills. The goal is to identify potential errors and advise municipalities on relevant claims. Furthermore, consumption studies will help pinpoint facilities with the greatest saving potential and prioritize investments.
The agreement also includes improving energy efficiency in the Diputación's own buildings, using ITG's monitoring systems to track consumption trends and actual savings. The feasibility of incorporating renewable energy sources to reduce emissions will also be assessed.
ITG will contribute its expertise in energy efficiency and renewable integration. Together with the provincial office, funding avenues for identified projects will be explored, both for municipalities and the Diputación's facilities.
The collected information will form the basis for the Provincial Energy Transition Strategy, data-driven on consumption. This will guide future actions and enable the extension of solutions to other municipalities in the province, recording savings in kWh and tonnes of CO₂ avoided.
