In Sant Antoni de Portmany, actions included reviewing energy audits and the Energy Infrastructure Plan of CEIP Can Coix, coordinating with social services, and supporting the collective self-consumption project at CEIP Cervantes.
The itinerant service model ensured territorial coverage, with on-site visits to Maó, Sant Lluís, Es Mercadal, Sant Antoni de Portmany, Ferreries, Alaior, Sant Joan, and Calvià, strengthening accessibility and direct support for residents and local administrations.
Regarding awareness and training initiatives, an energy capacity-building workshop was delivered at CIFP Llevant in Manacor for both teaching and administrative staff, as part of the new support program for educational centres equipped with public photovoltaic installations. Furthermore, guidance sessions were launched for participants in the first shared self-consumption project of the Balearic Energy Institute in Eivissa, complementing the four operational projects in Menorca and the 25 active installations in Mallorca.
