WWF asked the Government for a roadmap “more assertive” and “permanent” this is driving Spain away from fossil fuels. While celebrating the “positive and tangible” energy saving and efficiency measures approved a few days ago, it wants to accelerate the transition to a more efficient network and consumption, bearing in mind that this action package concerns the whole society.
WWF’s climate technician Sergio Bonati explains that energy-saving and efficiency measures “vitalIn the context of the current crisis, produced by the war in Ukraine and is the responsibility of “all governments, cities, companies and citizens”. Therefore, it considers that they should not be used as “.throwing arms in a political war“as they are”basis“To combat global warming and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
“Limiting our energy demand is the fastest and most direct way to improve our energy security and reduce our emissions to tackle climate change, so all governments, cities, companies and citizens must get to work,” he insists.
Regarding the measures announced, WWF asks Government to conduct an administrative follow-up to ensure complianceLike the requirement to advance building energy efficiency inspection for those with inspection before January 1, 2021.
In addition, a proximity model This reduces the distance between generation and consumption through self-consumption and further deployment of energy communities, and guarantees the planning of the national electricity grid adjusted to a distributed and optimized model that reduces losses during the transport of energy.
In addition, the organization “necessaryProgress in the digitization and flexibility of the electricity system so that supply and demand can be adjusted to a greater extent, thereby enabling renewable power plants shortage of demandnetwork saturation or additional electricity generation.
See also “necessaryProgress in digitization and flexibility of the electrical system; promoting and accelerating changes in the transport sector, as well as housing rehabilitation and urban regeneration plan, and ensuring the effective implementation of low-emission zones as specified in the Climate Change Law.
On the other hand, WWF rGreets the introduction and acceleration of housing rehabilitation and urban renewal plan establishing binding targets for renewable energy in existing buildings and new construction, as well as increasing annual targets for residential rehabilitation.
It also encourages the promotion of telework, which it sees as one of the “most effective” formulas for reducing energy demand and associated emissions.
Finally, the organization requires the development of education, information and citizen awareness programs to influence necessary changes both in consumption habits and in all productive sectors, to encourage the reduction of demand and the application of good practices, and to expand and promote energy labeling and efficiency mandates.
Finally, WWF assures that these offers do not mean “under any concept“a reduction in the quality of life of citizens or businesses” but vice versa” and “a direct way to help leave a healthier planet for future generations”.
