Mario Flores was in Torrevieja yesterday to see the start of a new gas pipeline, one of five that are being laid in the province.
Once the work is completed there will be 160 kilometres of gas pipelines in the Valencian community supplying gas to 390,000 homes at a cost of 29 million Euros.
The first section of thirteen kilometres of the pipeline between Guardamar del Segura and Pilar de le Horadada is expected to be completed by 2011 and will supply 160,000 homes with natural gas. The cost of the is project of 6.2million Euros is being shared by the Conselleria and Gas Natural.
It is hoped that the supply of gas will promote both the use of environmentally friendly energy for heating homes and at the same time encourage further development of Orihuela, Torrevieja and Guardamar del Segura.
In my opinion, anything that reduces the pall of wood smoke that hangs over the Vega Baja for the whole of winter is a good thing. Living here during the cold months of the year is like being back in England before the laws about smokeless fuel were introduced.
