What is the Energy Management Network of the Andalusian Regional Government?
The Energy Network of the Administration of the Andalusian Regional Government (REDEJA) is the Andalusian administration's instrument aimed at applying principles of energy saving, efficiency and implementation of technologies that make use of renewable sources in public administration buildings and consumption centres.
REDEJA has been managed by the Andalusian Energy Agency since its creation in 2007 through the Agreement of the Governing Council of 26 June 2007 (modified by the Agreements of 21 July 2009 and 27 December 2013) and, through this network carries out a specific, professionalised and coordinated management of the energy resources of the entire Andalusian Regional Government.
What is the work of REDEJA?
The Andalusian Regional Government needs energy for the daily operation of all the services it provides in hospitals, secondary schools, administrative offices, sports facilities, public universities, etc.
In relation to electricity consumption, all these centres demand around one million megawatt hours (MWh) annually and REDEJA is in charge of carrying out the necessary actions that allow the Andalusian Regional Government to have the necessary energy in quality and quantity to provide its services, but at the lowest possible cost, with a stable price and identifying the best alternatives to minimise consumption.
It does this, among other things, through the centralised contracting of nearly 5,000 supply points with a 100% renewable origin guarantee certificate of the Andalusian Regional Government for the optimisation of energy consumption; advising new and existing buildings on the contracting of energy actions or carrying out energy audits or studies in the buildings owned by the Andalusian Regional Government to technically define the investments to be made.
Who is part of the Energy Network?
The Network is made up of the consumption centres of the General Administration of the Andalusian Regional Government and all of its instrumental entities; the Consortiums referred to in Article 12.3 of Law 9/2007, of 22 October, of the Administration of the Andalusian Regional Government, and by those other public entities that, on a voluntary basis, sign REDEJA membership agreements.
