In 2015 we switched to self-consumption photovoltaic installations. In 2020, 9 installations have been carried out, which means that 26 municipal buildings are already consuming their own energy. One of these buildings is the Town Hall, which is an example for other citizens. A monitoring programme controls these facilities.
