Barcelona passes a new solar thermal Ordinance

Last Friday, Barcelona's City Council passed a new solar thermal Ordinance. Among the characteristics of the new legislation, the elimination of the thresold of application, placed to date at 292 MJ per day of hot domestic water, and also the enforcement of a more strict maintenance requirements in order to guarantee its quality and correct function. Barcelona's City Council was the first European administration which promoted and passed a solar thermal Ordinance. Its application "has provided Barcelona with an important reduction in the use of fossil fuels, but the new legislation will make the ordinance cover all the new buildings being constructed in the city, as long as its installation is feasible", stated the City Council in a press release.

Hence, from the analysis of the previous Ordinance's weaknnesses and strengths detected during the last 5 years, and also from the analysis of the improvements introduced in more recent Ordinances applied in other towns, the new legislation has been shaped in order to solved such problems where possible".

In the new legislation design process, the City Council has counted with some of the main stakeholders implied, both through the recently created Solar Energy Table and the Energy Group within the Environment and Sustainability City Council Department.
