The Foral Palace and the Cathedral of Santa María have remained in the dark. Meanwhile, Bizkaia is analyzing possible measures and the mayor of San Sebastián, Eneko Goia, predicts a €5 million increase in electricity costs, which will impose restrictions, although “safety comes first”.
The Provincial Councils of Alavaas announced yesterday by the deputy general, Ramiro González, has started to apply energy saving measures “immediately” and the lights of the Foral Palace and Cathedral of Santa María, both in Vitoria-Gasteiz, from 10 p.m. The territory of Alava is the first to take measures, as Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa have not started with the restrictions for the time being, after the publication in the BOE of the measures of the Spanish government.
The decision of the regional institution of Alava is part of the agreements adopted by the Basque governments last week. “We will immediately take energy-saving measures in the spaces and buildings under the responsibility of the Provincial Council,” announced González, explaining that the lighting of public buildings will be turned off at night, including heritage buildings that have external lighting, including he named the tower of the city of Marioda.
In addition, in the regional buildings regulate the temperature in the coming days, as he said, “in accordance” with what is included in the decree of the central government and what has been agreed by the Basque institutions. González has said both are “perfectly compatible”, although the Basque Country proposes to set the thermostats to 25 degrees in summer and 20 degrees in winter and the decree speaks of 27 and 19 degrees respectively.
