investments in energy savings to improve
the consumption of the city council, and the
possible installation of renewable energies.
Annual energy costs slashed
by 53%
The Citizen Services Group plans to make
investments for upgrading and for impro-
ving the energy efficiency of the lighting
installations. This will enable the local go-
vernment of the Maresme region to redu-
ce its annual energy consumption in public
lighting by 53% to comply with current re-
gulations. These measures, expected to re-
duce CO
2
emissions to air by 300 tons per
year, will also contribute to the fight against
climate change.
FCC will be making an initial investment
to replace 3,232 electronic ballasts and
lamps, 1,149 bulbs, and for tele-manage-
ment of all electronic control panels.
Energy savings generated by reducing
energy consumption will make it possi-
ble to finance, throughout the term of the
contract, the investments required for im-
proving the energy efficiency of the public
lighting installation to comply with regu-
lations and, at the same time, enable the
company to make a profit.
In Santa Susanna, FCC will be installing a
double-level electronic regulation system in
order to be able to program lighting power
at different hours of the day. This techno-
logy is an improvement of the current sys-
tem and makes it possible to easily adapt
functioning of the installations according to
the lighting requirements of the client.
As part of the initial investment, specialised
software will be used to make an inventory
of the installations and to manage invoices
and consumption throughout the term of
the contract. The tele-management system
will provide FCC the tools for the mainte-
