OPEN DAYSBrussels, 11 October 2011

INTRODUCTION

Presentation AVEN – Valencia Region

AVEN is a public body belonging to the Department of

Economy, Industry and Commerce. AVEN is the main

instrument to develop the energy policy of the Regional

Government.

The priority lines of the regional energy policy are defined

within the Strategic Infrastructure Plan (2010-2020) of the

Valencia Region (called PIE- Plan de Infraestructuras

Estratégicas).

The model is based on four principles :

Self-sufficiency, Savings, Technical and economic efficiency

and Sustainability. 2011 Agencia Valenciana de la Energía - www.aven.es

3. RENEWABLE ENERGY.

- Power generation : expected 6242 MW power vs 2532 in

2009 by solar ph, solar th power plants, biomass, biogas

and mainly wind.

- - Thermal use : five times the current surface. 700.000

sqm (2020)

- Biofuels : Expected 450.000 ton/year (2020) vs 115.000

(2009).

´4. ENERGY SAVING AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY.

- Transport : Promotion of modal change, implement public

bike systems, introduction of 50000 electric cars by 2020.
