831,000 euros to Bunyola and 960,000 euros to Palmanyola this year to carry out municipal investments
Llorenç Galmés explained that the total budget earmarked by the Consell de Mallorca this year for investment in the municipality of Bunyola amounts to 831,300 euros, while Palmanyola will receive 960,000 euros. These amounts come from the call for subsidies of the Plan de Obras y Servicios (POS) for the current year and the recently published aid corresponding to the Mallorca Covenant of Mayors for energy and climate.
President Galmés, during the meeting, remarked that, about the Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan (PAESC), this year the island institution has earmarked 3.5 million euros for all the municipalities of Mallorca, of which 131,300 will go to Bunyola. All the municipalities of Mallorca are members of the Covenant of Mayors and have signed the commitments for 2030 established by the European Union. In this way, all the municipalities have drawn up an action plan for sustainable energy and climate (PAESC), in which the state of the municipality is analysed and certain actions are proposed to achieve the established objectives: reduction of CO₂ emissions, increase the use of renewable energies in the town councils, reduce energy consumption and fight against energy poverty, in the areas of the tertiary sector, waste, transport and domestic.
On the other hand, the town councils of Mallorca can now take advantage of the call for subsidies of 40 million euros corresponding to 2024 and 2025 of the Plan of Works and Services, in which the total amount of the subsidy that the town councils will receive for investments is doubled. Through this call, 700,000 euros will be allocated to Bunyola and 960,000 euros to Palmanyola. ‘We are committed to strengthening municipalism and we are fulfilling one of the main commitments of the government team. We want the residents of Mallorca to benefit from new infrastructures and works that the town councils will be able to carry out, which will undoubtedly improve the quality of life of Mallorcans,’ explained President Galmés.
