Lockdown brought savings for Calpe Town Hall as municipal offices closed and streetlights were switched off

CALPE Town Hall’s electricity bill fell to €45,587 between January 1 and May 4.
Almost 14 per cent less than 2019’s first quarter, this was partly due to closing most municipal offices and buildings during the State of Alarm.
The municipality’s energy-saving plan also played an important part in the savings after streetlamps were reduced by a third in some districts, following a General Services review.
After evaluating where reduced lighting would have the least impact on residents, streetlighting was reduced along the Princesa de Asturias environmental walk, which was closed to the public when lockdown measures were at their strictest, as well as the promenades, Avenida de Rumania and Avenida Generalitat.
