Valencia has reported relatively high overall electricity consumption per capita, although the level is
still much lower than the annual Spanish average of 5 510 kWh per capita (2016). A large portion of
22
the consumption is due to cooling needs.
Optimizing energy consumption: It is recommended that Valencia measures and reports its portion
of renewable energy consumption and residential thermal energy consumption in order to track its
progress towards energy sustainability. Sustainable energy sources such as solar, wind, geothermal,
hydropower and ocean energy should be widely encouraged, incentivized and subsidized for residential
and industrial/commercial use.
Recommendation ITU-T L.1316: ‘Energy efficiency framework’ can be helpful in this regard.
