The local experience of ecological transition has attracted the attention of a dozen elected officials and managers from small municipalities in the province of Treviso, who have been able to learn about the work that has led Viladecans to be chosen by the European Union as a Green City 2025, receiving the Green Leaf distinction. Mayor Carles Ruiz and the deputy mayors for Mobility, Jordi Mazón, and Environment, Encarna García, explained to them the municipal actions in relation to energy, biodiversity, water management and sustainable mobility. The delegation also visited the Vilawatt Office, the Energy Community of the Municipal Market in Plaça d'Europa and the Viladecans-Can Amat Museum.
VILAWATT ATTRACTS THE ATTENTION OF A FRENCH INSTITUTE
The local experience of energy transition with Vilawatt has also been the subject of a visit from the French institute of advanced studies IHEDATE, which has been training French managers for twenty years. On Friday 15 March, around thirty participants in the association's annual cycle, which this year 2024 is entitled 'How to land ecological planning', visited Viladecans. The French delegation put an end to its five-day visit to Spain to learn about the development of the ecological agenda in our country, which is the study mission of this year's cycle. The City Council explained the strategy and development of Vilawatt to the heads of regional governments, city councils, public bodies, employers and companies in France related to energy and sustainable mobility (such as the French energy company EDF or the rail transport companies SNCF and Transdev).
