This funding follows the application submitted by the council, which had a budget of 552,731.95 euros to cover the energy costs of various municipal facilities during the 2026 fiscal year. Eligible expenses include electricity, gas, fuel, and lubricants, as well as operational and ordinary maintenance costs for the facilities.
The funding is designated for municipal medical clinics, early childhood, primary, and special education centers, cultural buildings, and sports facilities, among other municipal buildings involved in providing public services.
“"Energy costs are necessary to keep municipal buildings operational and ensure the provision of public services. These grants help cover a portion of these costs and provide resources to maintain facilities in adequate condition for citizens."
The resolution for the second phase of the +CERCA Plan 2026, published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Alicante on October 2nd, details the award of this subsidy to municipalities with over 1,000 inhabitants. The +CERCA Plan is an initiative by the Alicante Provincial Council to support municipalities in financing current expenses and ordinary maintenance of municipal facilities.
