A Illa grants Arousa en Transición a property for solar self-consumption

The Local Government Board of the City Council of A Illa de Arousa approved on October 13, 2026, the direct award to the Asociación Arousa en Transición of an administrative concession for the private use of a municipal public domain asset, the declared purpose of which is a self-consumption photovoltaic installation. The agreement, signed by the mayor-president Luis Arosa García, was made public in the Official Gazette of the Province of Pontevedra (BOPPO) no. 207, corresponding to Tuesday, October 27, 2026, in the Local Administration section, within the Urban Planning and Heritage department of the council, with the official reference 2026075010.

The decision was made within the scope of municipal competencies regarding own heritage: it is a public domain concession for private use granted via direct award, that is, without a tender, in favor of a non-profit associative entity according to the designation appearing in the announcement. The published text limits its content to the award agreement and the description of the affected asset.

A public domain concession by direct award

The announcement, headed with the title “Public domain concession to the Asociación Arousa en Transición,” collects the agreement of the Local Government Board of October 13, 2026, and reports the direct award of the administrative concession for the private use of the property. The publication is made “for general knowledge,” according to the text disseminated by the council.

The official communication is electronically signed by the mayor, Luis Arosa García, and incorporates the secure verification code RR3KZM04DECVFQUQ, which allows for the verification of the document’s integrity on the electronic headquarters of the Provincial Council of Pontevedra.

The property: 696 square meters on Avenida Castelao

The data of the asset subject to the concession, as detailed in the announcement, are as follows:

• Cadastral reference: 0626813NH1102N0001FB.
• Location: Avenida Castelao nº 5, 36626, A Illa de Arousa.
• Class: urban.
• Surface area: 696 square meters.
• Coefficient: 100%.
• Use: food market.
• Year of construction: 1980.
• Title of acquisition: constitution of the City Council dated January 1, 1997.
• Charges or encumbrances: free.
• State of conservation: acceptable.

The cadastral description is completed with the boundaries: to the north, cadastral plots 0626813NH1102N0001FB; to the south, Avenida Castelao; to the east, Rúa Nicho; and to the west, cadastral plot 0626827NH1102N.

Solar self-consumption as the purpose of the asset

The purpose assigned to the property in the concession is a self-consumption photovoltaic installation. The announcement does not specify, for its part, the planned capacity of the installation, the duration of the concession, nor the fee or economic consideration associated, details which do not appear in the text published in the provincial gazette.

The operation thus transfers part of the municipal heritage —a municipal building linked to the food market— to an associative entity, with a declared energy purpose and without charges on the asset, according to the information contained in the resolution.

The publication in BOPPO no. 207 of October 27, 2026, provides official publicity to the agreement and allows for its general knowledge, a standard requirement in the awarding of concessions on local public domain assets.

The relevance of the news for the residents lies in the fact that the council grants the private use of a municipal property of nearly 700 square meters to an association so that it can develop a photovoltaic self-consumption installation, which opens the way for a neighborhood initiative to directly manage part of the public heritage for the purpose of local energy saving and generation. The official reference document is 2026075010, available on the electronic headquarters of the Deputación de Pontevedra.
