Map of energy generation in municipal buildings
Consumption by municipal buildings and facilities represents around 50% of the total municipal energy expenditure. This is why we think it is essential to work at these facilities to promote energy transition and local clean energy measures to set an example for the general public.
There are currently over 130 municipal buildings with photovoltaic generation systems, 19 energy generating systems on pergolas and walls in city parks and squares, plus 16 installations on party walls and similar.
The drive to generate energy forms part of the city’s goal of becoming climate neutral by 2030. Some of the main ways of our achieving this goal are decarbonisation and speeding up the generation of locally produced renewable energy (for our own everyday consumption), as set out in the Government measure on accelerating photovoltaic energy generation in the city.
How much energy does Barcelona generate?
The city currently has 19 energy generating systems in public space, on pergolas and walls, 16 installations on party walls and similar, and at more than 130 municipal buildings, representing an installed capacity of 5.908 kWp and a generation of 7,046 MWh, equivalent to the consumption of more than 3,605 homes and a saving of CO2eq emissions of 2,537 tons.
On this map you can find where these generation facilities are located, how much energy they generate and the savings in energy consumption and CO2 emissions they entail.
