Jávea Town Hall has joined the social energy poverty program launched by the Government to avoid power cuts to the most vulnerable families. The proposal from Pepa Gisbert, Councillor for the Department of Social Services, has been ratified by a decree from the mayor. Now it has asked that the Department of Housing Xàbia be included in the agreements with Iberdrola, Endesa and Gas Natural Fenosa in order to combat energy poverty in households at risk of social exclusion. The Fight Against Energy Poverty is now at an early stage, so that the town is waiting to gather all the necessary information and install the relevant programs. However, The Town Hall should soon be able to inform all of Jávea´s citizens, who find themselves in difficulty, of the steps needed to be able to access this new program to support families in a difficult situation.
