Thirty days to submit allegations

In-person consultation takes place at the Service offices, at Avenida Clara Campoamor, number 2 (Multiple Services Building), 3rd floor, Cáceres, by prior appointment via telephone 927001280 (from 9:00 to 14:00 hours) or email soiemcc@juntaex.es.

The processing directly affects the owners of the seven listed estates and the deployment of electrical and telecommunications infrastructure in the surroundings of Jaraicejo, where fiber optics are laid along the route of evacuation lines for photovoltaic parks. The declaration of public utility would enable, where applicable, the urgent occupation of the land, therefore the open period for allegations is the primary means for those affected to defend their rights.
