The Ministry of Universities, business and research, participates through the Regional Agency for Energy Management of Murcia (Argema) in the European project 'Medeea', which aims to make eight municipalities of the Region to obtain the 'European Energy Award ', a quality label that certifies energy efficiency and use of renewable sources in the municipality.
The Community and Jaen are the, tera gold, two Spanish representatives in this initiative by the European Commission, which has a budget of 1,456,713 euros, of which 157 600 was earmarked to develop the work in the Region of Murcia, and also involving representatives of Italy, Greece, Cyprus, Portugal, Malta and Slovenia, according to informed sources have regional executive.
Argema manager, Teodoro Garcia, indicated that "the end of the project is to exploit renewable energy sources and promote energy conservation in the Mediterranean in order to meet emission reduction commitments of greenhouse gases, safety and energy independence adopted by the European Commission. "
For this, the project involves work from municipalities through energy agencies, so this initiative is a tool that, ffxiv gil, complements the Covenant of Mayors, which aims to increase energy efficiency and energy utilization renewables to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

"Although this is a tool to systematize local energy plans, energy plans to allow development measure, taking into account the characteristics of each area," says the manager of Argema.
Participating municipalities, among which were eight of the region that will be selected in the coming months, will be evaluated with a punctuation. When punctuation is reached over 50 percent of the maximum established, will gain recognition with the receipt of a quality label may show in their official communications. All participating municipalities enter into a European ranking that recognizes the best initiatives each year.
Recently, the EEA system, which already has extensive experience in northern Europe, has obtained the certificate of excellence by the Directorate General Transport and Energy in the EU. Currently, over 450 regions of ten European countries are successfully implementing the EEA.
