The Vice President and Minister of Energy Transition, Juan Pedro Yllanes, and the Director General of Energy and Climate Change, Pep Malagrava, yesterday morning presented to the Consell de Ibiza and the various Ibizan councils the draft Energy Transition and Climate Change Plan. In the afternoon the Minister and the Director General traveled to Formentera with the same objective. It will shape the roadmap in the Pitiusas for the broad roll-out of this law.

This Plan must establish a transversal framework of guidance and planning of objectives, policies and actions to comply with the Law on Climate Change and Energy Transition, in order to accelerate the reduction of polluting emissions in the Balearic Islands by 40% by 2030.
“The involvement of the institutions that are closest to the citizens is essential to develop this Energy Transition Plan, so we go from town to town to receive this information first hand,” said Yllanes. He added that the involvement of those who govern on each island is necessary to achieve the proposed objectives.
Roadmap to achieve climate change objectives
“We have been able to meet with both the Committee of Experts and the environmental organizations so that they can present their demands, and thus establish a strategic framework for the adaptation of the region and infrastructure to the effects of climate change,” said Yllanes.
The Energy Transition and Climate Change Plan is in fact the roadmap that will allow us to achieve the climate objectives, “that is why the greatest possible consensus is a must and will be a key tool for the councils and town councils”. The conseller pointed out that “Ibiza needs to take action to start the energy transition and move towards a renewable energy sovereignty; remember that the goal for 2050 is to cover 70% and on Ibiza we are still very, very far away,” he stressed.
