The “Energía Eguna” activity, organized in October in Ermua by the European project drOp and linked to the local energy community created within this initiative, has been recognized as the “Best initiative in a municipality or district with between 5,000 and 20,000 inhabitants” at the Asteklima 2025 Awards. This recognition highlights the collaborative effort between the educational community, local residents, and municipal entities to drive the energy transition and climate action. The award ceremony will take place on December 5, 2025, where the Ermua City Council will receive an official diploma.
Asteklima is the Basque Country’s Climate Action Week, promoted by the Basque Government. Its sixth edition, held in 2025, brought together 87 organizations and 138 activities across Euskadi to raise awareness about the climate emergency and encourage sustainable habits.
As part of Asteklima, awards are given to the most outstanding initiatives in various categories, recognizing projects that foster social participation, environmental education, and sustainability innovation. Energía Eguna, held on October 24, was honored for its educational, participatory, and hands-on approach, combining school activities, community engagement, and technological demonstrations to show how renewable energy works and how to reduce energy consumption.
