Pablo de Olavide University has won in the Education category in the fourth edition of the @asLAN Association awards for public bodies that implement successful projects in the application and use of information and communication technology. The university, which won the same award last year, has won on this occasion for its control of energy consumption and its monitoring of |
installations on campus through the "PowerStudio Scada" application. In this fourth edition, the @asLAN Awards were announced with the aim of highlighting initiatives to reduce costs and improve the efficiency of administrations.
By controlling its installations and raising users' awareness of proper use, the austerity measures taken by Pablo de Olavide University have generated estimated savings of 40 percent in electrical energy and 50 percent in drinking water. |

The government has approved a package of urgent measures to resolve the imbalance |
between the revenue and costs of the electricity and gas systems. A Royal Decree has been approved whose objective, on the one hand, is to reduce electricity system costs by about 1.7 billion. The cost reduction will be shared out among the various stakeholders within the system and will affect distribution, transportation, capacity payments, the financing of the system operator, the National Energy Commission and the IDAE or interruptibility.
In parallel, a tariff rise will be applied that will increase system revenue. For domestic consumers, the last-resort electricity tariff (TUR) will rise by an average of 7 percent. This decision, together with the rise in tariffs for large consumers, SMEs and medium and large industrial sectors will mean additional revenue of 1.4 billion euros. |
