Boiler makers have requested a license in the Inbisa industrial estate of Amorebieta-Etxano

The Amorebieta-Etxano City Council has opened the public information period for the classified activity license requested by the company Ederkalde S.L. to establish a boilermaking workshop in the Inbisa industrial estate. The announcement was published in issue number 182 of the Boletín Oficial de Bizkaia on September 23, 2026, in section II, specifying that there is a one-month period to submit written observations. The file number is AYT/2574/2023, and the official document reference is BOB-2026a182-(II-4879).

Which activity and in which location

The requested license corresponds to a classified activity: the installation and operation of a boilermaking workshop. A boilermaking workshop is an industrial activity and is processed as a classified activity to evaluate the impact it may have on the environment.

The company has selected several warehouses in the Inbisa Industrial Estate (UE-12 San Antonio), located in the San Antonio neighborhood of the Amorebieta-Etxano municipality, to carry out this activity. The exact location is as follows:

• Warehouses 34A and 35A, taken together.
• Original warehouse 36A, included in the aforementioned group.
• Inbisa Industrial Estate, in unit UE-12 San Antonio.
• San Antonio neighborhood, in the municipality of Amorebieta-Etxano.
• File number: AYT/2574/2023.

Which regulations the process is based on

The edict published by the Council cites Article 51 of the Ley 10/2021, de 9 de diciembre, de Administración Ambiental de Euskadi (Law 10/2021 of December 9 on Environmental Administration of the Basque Country) as its basis. This article regulates the process for providing public information to citizens during the municipal licensing process for classified activities.

Consequently, the request is not processed privately: the council announces that a license has been requested, and anyone may examine the file according to the corresponding procedure. Therefore, this publication marks the transparency and participation phase before the license is granted or denied.

Deadline and method for submitting allegations

Interested parties have a one-month period to submit observations or allegations. The period is counted from the day following the publication of this edict in the Boletín Oficial de Bizkaia.

Allegations must be submitted in writing and addressed to the Amorebieta-Etxano City Council. The signature of the edict clarifies the current stage of the process:

• Signature date: September 15, 2026.
• Signatory: Ainhoa Salterain Gandarias, Mayor of Amorebieta-Etxano.
• Publication date: September 23, 2026.
• Gazette: Boletín Oficial de Bizkaia, issue 182, section II.

Why it is important for citizens

This edict opens the opportunity to make observations regarding the effects a boilermaking workshop may have on the environment and the immediate surroundings. In licensing procedures for classified activities, the public information phase is the most direct moment for citizens and neighboring companies to participate in the process.

Once that one-month period has passed, the opportunity to submit claims ends, and the city council will proceed with the process according to the applicable regulations. Therefore, for anyone affected or interested, the key is not to miss the deadline.
