We seek to contribute to Menorca achieving 85% of its energy production from renewable energies by 2030
In 2019, 97% of the electricity produced in Menorca came from the fossil fuel power plant located in the port of Mahon.
During 2020, Menorca Preservation supported a thesis study on Menorca’s decarbonisation potential, which we in turn shared with the Consell de Menorca, which was developing its Menorca 2030 decar-bonisation plan.
The PhD thesis concluded that Menorca could produce 95% of its energy through renewables, using storage systems and interconnectivity via a cable with Mallorca.
In this way, Menorca Preservation identifies ways to contribute to the transition to renewables, aligning our actions to the objectives set by the “Menorca 2030 Decarbonisation Strategy”, which aims for Menorca to reach 85% renewables by 2030.
In 2023 we continued to support the implementation of the Clean Energy Community of the San Luis Industrial Estate, based on shared consumption of photovoltaic energy, with a social and collaborative perspective. To date, the progress of this project has been slowed down by the various changes of government in the public administration. Despite these challenges, the team is still working, and committed to completing the project.
