The Tortosa City Council will present allegations to the PLATER, the plan that regulates the deployment of wind and photovoltaic farms to achieve the energy objectives for 2050, considering that the initial proposal places a disproportionate part of the effort on the territory from the municipality’s perspective.
The municipal objection comes as the council reaffirms its support for the energy transition. The mayor, Mar Lleixà, maintains that the current design does not guarantee balanced development for Tortosa or for les Terres de l’Ebre, an area that the local government considers to be particularly strained by the implementation of renewables.
The initial PLATER proposal reserves 509.7 megawatts of photovoltaic solar energy and 1,261.9 megawatts of wind energy for Baix Ebre.
With these figures on the table, the Tortosa City Council focuses its criticism on the territorial distribution of the facilities. Lleixà argues that the municipality shares the energy objectives set for 2050, but rejects that this progress translates into a concentration of projects that, in the opinion of the local government, does not align with the territory’s needs.
The mayor summarized it as follows.
“The current approach does not guarantee balanced or respectful development with the characteristics of Tortosa and the entirety of les Terres de l’Ebre, which have already contributed more than enough to the implementation of renewable energies, and have already been quite solidary. In this regard, we will also reject the possible overcrowding of projects” – Mar Lleixà, Mayor of Tortosa
In addition to submitting its own allegations, the city council will facilitate affected owners in formalizing theirs. The mechanism will be a generic application that the council will then forward to the Institut Català d’Energia, in a procedure that coincides with other recent debates on wind projects in Tarragona.
This Monday there will be an open information session.
The meeting is scheduled for 7:00 PM at the Ferreries Civic Center, where residents can learn about the plan’s content and the system the city council has prepared to channel affected parties’ allegations.
Mar Lleixà, mayor of Tortosa, has located that meeting at the Ferreries Civic Centre as the municipal information point for residents before sending the generic applications of the affected owners to the ICAEN.
