The main proposal is to apply rebates in the Real Estate Tax (IBI) and in the Construction, Installations and Work Tax (ICIO).
The most advanced countries have identified the energy transition as one of the great challenges of our society.
This challenge, without prejudice to being a moral imperative, also represents an opportunity for economic and social development thanks to the new market niche on which a large part of the economic activity will revolve in the short and medium term.

City councils, by proximity and responsibility, have assumed this role as catalysts for change and, since the signing of the Covenant of Mayors in 2008, they are the benchmark for the implementation of policies aimed at sustainability, despite their limited means.
This effort by many municipalities has been faithfully reflected in the commitment to self-consumption, which has led to the implementation of reductions in the Real Estate Tax (IBI) and in the Construction, Installations and Work Tax (ICIO).
In municipalities with more than 10,000 inhabitants, 21% of the population of Murcia is entitled to discounts in the IBI for self-consumption facilities; at the national level, 41%.
This is clear from a study recently presented by the Renovables Foundation and the Norwegian company Otovo.
The Association of Renewable Energy Companies of the Region of Murcia (AEROMUR) has carried out a study that highlights the potential of photovoltaic solar energy installed on the roof.
It says that by installing this technology on the roofs, parking lots and roofs of companies in industrial estates, up to 1 GW of electrical energy could be produced, more than double what We currently produce in the Region of Murcia, and more than 2,500 jobs are created annually, in addition to the savings that this would mean in the medium and long term for families and SMEs.
Photovoltaic energy therefore has great economic, environmental and social profitability, which must be used not only by large companies but also by SMEs and individuals.
For this, public administrations, including municipal ones, must contribute to the implementation of these facilities that will result in economic and social benefits for citizens.
