Tudela, Spain
Tudela is a community with around 35,000 inhabitants to the south of Pamplona in the region of Navarra, Spain. Tudela will put intelligent energy management at the centre of its sustainability plan. The community of Navarra occupies an important position in the field of renewable energies, and as such, has been since 2001 the official headquarters of the National Centre for Renewable Energies (CENER). A national training centre for renewable energy is also located in the region. Both of these institutions are lending their expertise to the community.
The CONCERTO approach
In Tudela, up to 70,000 m² new eco-dwellings with 350 new buildings help reach the overall objectives set for the project. An additional and politically advanced urban model allows the development of an eco-city where sustainability, bio-climatic areas, and renewable energies are facilitated in the new urban model.
Power supply to the new buildings in Tudela is controlled with a comfort metering system. The objective is to balance energy supply with demand. The ability to store energy is important in this respect, and electrical storage heating will be installed. In principle, all of the energy required to power the project will come from renewable sources, either through application of a green tariff when buying electricity, or through local generation. The city plans to make full use of the sun and wind. Both PV and solar thermal capacity is being installed to take advantage of the sun's power. The PV plant will cover 4,000 m², whilst 2,000 m² of solar thermal collectors are being installed. The community will also boast a wind farm with a capacity of 4MW.
Meanwhile, energy efficiency principles will of course not be neglected, with the 350 eco-buildings featuring bioclimatic architecture, passive solar heating and energy storage in thermal mass.
