The Department of Industry, Commerce and Tourism of the Basque Government has granted a grant of 182 million to 26 energy saving projects. A total of 18 companies have presented their projects. The average subsidy is 12.5% of the total investment.

Approved projects include those that propose using more efficient technologies, 18. Five other projects propose taking advantage of residual heat or using cleaner energy. The last three correspond to R&D demonstrations, demonstration and dissemination actions and studies to improve energy efficiency. All these projects are expected to save 37,704 tons of oil equivalent and a reduction of 100,000 tons of CO2 gases to the atmosphere.
