The initial steps for the establishment of the TEK Deba-Itziar energy community have yielded very positive results, according to the local council. The deadline to join this project closed on June 7th, with all 220 available spots being allocated, underscoring the significant interest the initiative has generated among the residents of Deba.
The project, spearheaded by the Deba City Council, began in April with two informative sessions held in the coastal town and in Itziar. These sessions informed the public about the project's objectives, its benefits, and the opportunities for participation.
The interest shown by attendees translated into a high demand for registration. The initiative prioritizes a commitment to sustainability and offers the potential for substantial savings on electricity bills, estimated to reach up to 25%. Notably, this move towards renewable energy requires no new installations or construction, making it an attractive proposition for participants.
The Deba City Council has expressed its satisfaction with the community's support for the project, recognizing its importance for the town's future. 'The interest and commitment shown in recent months have been remarkable. The TEK Deba-Itziar project represents a significant step forward for Deba's energy future. We extend our sincere gratitude to all citizens for their participation and encourage them to continue engaging in initiatives that promote more sustainable energy and maintain their commitment to the community,' stated Mayor Alazne Txurruka.
