The Provincial Council readjusts annuities for 180 works of the PLANIFICA plan

The Plenary of the Provincial Council of Alicante approved in an ordinary session on November 6, 2026, the modification of the financial distribution of the PLANIFICA 2024-2027 plan through an adjustment of annual installments affecting 180 works, without increasing the total amount of the plan or the percentage of the provincial subsidy. The agreement is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Alicante No. 214, dated November 10, 2026, in section III. Local Administration, under official reference 8717/2026. The resolution opens a ten-day public exhibition period for the submission of claims and allegations.

The modified plan is PLANIFICA: Investment and Financing Plan for Infrastructures of the Province of Alicante, corresponding to the Provincial Plan for Cooperation in Works and Services of Municipal Competence 2024-2027, whose global amount remains at 101,489,972.78 euros. The Provincial Council justifies the adjustment based on the need to “adapt the financing of the Plan works proposed for the current adjustment to the actual execution of each work,” and alleges “budgetary reasons and public interest that advise the new distribution of annual installments in order to optimize the application of provincial resources.”

As an immediate precedent, the same provincial gazette had already published on September 15, 2026, an adjustment of annual installments for 11 works of the 2020-2023 plan, processed by Presidential Decree No. 2026-3996, dated September 7, 2026.

The entire schedule shifts to 2028

The agreement eliminates the 2025 installment and concentrates the investment in 2028, according to the table incorporated into the announcement:

• 2026 Installment: reduced by 8,383,586.48 euros.
• 2027 Installment: reduced by 36,144,582.65 euros.

The new situation leaves the installments as follows:

• 2027: 11,575,256.63 euros from the Provincial Council and 4,270,232.90 euros from the city councils.
• 2028: 48,403,586.83 euros from the Provincial Council and 34,716,025.50 euros from the city councils.

Increase in budget allocation percentages

To accommodate the new schedule, the Plenary increases the maximum percentage of budget allocation, in accordance with Article 174.3 of Royal Legislative Decree 2/2004, of March 5, which approves the revised text of the Law Regulating Local Treasuries:

• 2027 Installment: up to 114.80%, based on an allocation of 21,061,921.93 euros.
• 2028 Installment: up to 323.55%, based on 59,361,216.58 euros.

The total of the plan in the 2026 budget amounts to 18,347,095.36 euros, divided between applications 24.4591.6502400 (7,381,478.12 euros) and 24.4591.7622400 (10,965,617.24 euros), with limits of 70% and 60% respectively according to article 174.3 of RDL 2/2004.

Ten days for allegations

The announcement appears signed by the Head of the Budget and Economic Management Service, the Provincial Deputy for Infrastructure, and the Vice-Secretary.

The readjustment does not add a single euro to the plan, but it reorganizes the payment schedule for 180 works and shifts the bulk of the investment to 2028: the province’s city councils must adjust their revenue forecasts and tenders to a scenario in which the Provincial Council increases the budget allocation percentage of the final annual period up to 323.55%.
