Treasury puts the energy savings of six Galician public buildings out to tender

The Department of Finance and Public Administration will sell on November 26, at 10:00 AM, the final energy savings generated by energy efficiency works in six buildings of the regional Administration, divided into two lots with a joint bidding price of 431,525.34 euros. The auction is in-person, descending, and with oral bids, and will be held in room 1 of the San Caetano Administrative Building, in Santiago de Compostela. The announcement, signed by the general director José María Barreiro Díaz, is published in the Official Gazette of Galicia number 216, of November 11, 2026, under the reference CVE-DOG: 3z2vbvb1-c2p8-dek4-yud0-ujojtrlueq86.

The disposal was agreed upon by the Order of the Department of Finance and Public Administration of November 9, 2026, and is processed by the General Directorate of Administrative Simplification and Heritage, through the Sub-directorate General of Heritage. The object consists of intangible property rights constituted by final energy savings, that is, the energy savings generated by rehabilitation and improvement works already executed in the listed buildings.

The sum of the two lots reaches 2,172,574 kWh of annual savings and a valuation value of 431,525.34 euros, calculated based on the estimated savings in each property. The tender requires descending bids on the initial price of each lot, with a bidding increment set at 1,000.00 euros in both cases.

Lot 1: three educational centers

The first lot brings together three teaching centers in the province of A Coruña, all with comprehensive rehabilitation actions:

• CEIP Oza dos Ríos: 181,426 kWh/year and a value of 36,035.56 euros.
• CPI San Vicente da Baña: 223,938 kWh/year and a value of 44,479.46 euros.
• IES Pobra do Caramiñal: 434,879 kWh/year and a value of 86,377.41 euros.

The initial bidding price for this lot is 166,892.43 euros, while the minimum admitted amount is set at 84,024.30 euros.

Lot 2: administration, minors and another IES

The second lot combines an administrative building, a juvenile center, and an institute, with a more diverse typology of actions:

• Monelos Administrative Building, in A Coruña, for energy efficiency improvement: 476,309 kWh/year and 94,606.40 euros.
• A Carballeira Juvenile Center, in Ourense, for renovation: 146,152 kWh/year and 29,029.29 euros.
• IES de Curtis, for comprehensive rehabilitation: 709,870 kWh/year and 140,997.22 euros.

In this case, the initial price amounts to 264,632.91 euros and the minimum amount is situated at 46,631.59 euros.

Descending auction, oral bids and without prior guarantee

The award procedure is that of a public descending auction in a public act with bids formulated orally. The announcement specifies that the constitution of a prior guarantee is not a requirement to take part in the auction, which reduces the barriers of access for interested operators.

The condition clauses governing the allocation of rights are available to interested parties on the department’s website, in the transparency section dedicated to patrimonial contracting and sales auctions. Information may also be requested via telephones 981 54 41 51 and 981 95 78 11 of the General Sub-directorate of Patrimony.

Energy saving as a negotiable asset

The operation is part of the conversion of energy savings into securities susceptible to purchase and sale. The Official Gazette of Galicia itself reflects this logic in other files: the Resolution of August 10, 2026, from the Tourism Agency of Galicia, published in DOG number 164, expressly admits the compatibility of its grants with the financing of energy efficiency actions “whose savings end up converted into energy saving certificates (ESCs)”.

In this case, the regional Administration acts as the holder of the rights and transfers the already achieved savings to the market, so that the buyer obtains a verifiable asset and the Xunta liquidates a right that it does not need for its ordinary operation.

The closing of the bid is set for 10:00 hours on November 26, 2026, with a single public call. The starting figure for each lot, the increment of 1,000 euros, and the absence of a prior guarantee allow for the anticipation of moderate competition among energy service companies and marketers interested in adding certified savings to their balance sheets.

The relevance for the reader is twofold: on one hand, the Xunta monetizes an intangible resource obtained with public money in six educational and care facilities; on the other, the result of the bid will reveal the price at which final energy saving is valued today in Galicia, a booming market following the transposition of European efficiency directives.
