This is the good practice's implementation level. It can be national, regional or local.
About this good practice
The Andalusian Government Administration Energy Network (REDEJA) is the instrument designed to promote, within the Andalusian administration, principles of efficiency in the contracting of energy supplies, energy efficiency and saving actions, as well as the implementation of renewable energy installations in its buildings.
In the energy model promoted by the Andalusian Government and included in successive plans, the public administrations must assume a catalytic and exemplary role aimed to a greater sustainability in the use of energy.
Previous analysis detected a high potential for energy and economic savings that could be obtained in the different public centres, in many cases higher than 40%, through a specific, coordinated and effective management of the energy bill of the Andalusian Government buildings.
REDEJA is currently working on four main lines of action: The optimization of electrical supply contracts and unified management; the development of sectorial studies and energy audits; the realization of investments in equipment and infrastructure and advice and training to adhered entities.
The Network is made up by the consumption centres of the General Administration of the Andalusian Government and all of its instrumental entities.

Resources needed
The investment made is more than 30 million euros. In addition, 360 audits, 52 training courses and 2760 power optimisation operations were carried out. The actions are carried out by a specific department of the Andalusian Energy Agency
Evidence of success
There are 116 adhered entities with 4000 buildings and 4900 electrical supplies. It has achieved an accumulated saving of 110 million €, stop emitting into the atmosphere an annual average of 13200 tCO2. In 2017-2020 the investment is more than 30 million €, with the intention of carrying out 60 actions, 14MW of new renewable power, 2700 TOE/year of energy savings, an additional reduction of 80 million € of public expenditure and 24800 tCO2/year emissions avoided, with the creation of 2500 jobs.
Potential for learning or transfer
This is a pioneering instrument in Spain to be promote, within the public administration, the principles of energy sustainability, and has been replicated in other Spanish regions.
It has been taken the advantage of the high potential for energy and economic savings in the buildings and facilities of the Regional Government of Andalusia, with a joint specific, professionalized, coordinated and efficient management of the energy bill and consumption of all the bodies of the Andalusian Government.
The achievements are being very satisfactory in all action areas and for the whole Andalusian Government administration.
