To firmly encourage the creation of zero-mile sustainable energy by fostering a technical study to establish the energy source that is best suited to each sector or local area within six months

The major energy companies have not made the shift to renewable energies as demanded by Europe. Moreover, we have the highest energy prices in the European Union, shrinking the wellbeing of families and the competitiveness of companies. In this respect, it has been proposed that no authorisation be granted to set up any other energy production plant that does not deliver renewable energy and is not a suitable size in order to produce local energy. Moreover, as Catalonia has a hugely varied territory, a host of similarly differing solutions are required in order to ensure the natural environment is respected while addressing the various needs. For example, industrial estates have a range of energy requirements according to the type of industry. The tourist sector and the countryside as well, and homes also rely on varying energy needs. Nevertheless, in all cases the change of model must incorporate the generation of renewable energy, independently or as part of a consortium, always locally and in a green, sustainable manner. To do this, within a period of six months a strategic technical framework must be set out to establish how each energy source type (solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, hydraulic, etc.) fits in with the various regions and the varying types of usage (families, associations of owners, companies, industrial estates, public buildings, etc.). In addition, an innovative regulatory framework will need to be put in place to facilitate this transition.
