Every 21st October for the last decade, World Energy Saving Day has been celebrated with the aim of raising awareness of energy efficiency and the need to conserve natural resources. With this objective in mind, the Universitat Jaume I has been implementing energy saving measures for years and, in 2020, it designed a series of actions for the energy refurbishment of buildings and the use of renewable energies as part of the institutional commitment to sustainability and the fight against climate change.

One of these priority actions has been the installation of solar panels. In fact, in the last two years the UJI has expanded the network of solar parks on campus, which has allowed a five-fold increase in the production of photovoltaic solar energy for self-consumption in the buildings.

Thus, until 2020, the UJI had an installed capacity of 146.21 kilowatts, a capacity that has been multiplied to the current 742.74 kilowatts with the installation of four new solar parks between 2021 and 2022. This power would supply a housing estate of around 320 medium-sized houses, as well as street lighting, among other things.

This increase is part of the institutional strategy that integrates the actions to advance the sustainability of the campus and address the climate emergency and which was designed collaboratively through the Working Group for Sustainability and against Climate Change under the direction of the then Vice-Rectorate for Campus and Healthy Living.

As a result of this work, the Technical Office of Construction Works and Projects planned a series of actions aimed at energy rehabilitation and the promotion of renewable energies, including improvements in the air conditioning and management systems, in the insulation of the roofs of the oldest buildings, as well as the installation of new photovoltaic solar parks.

The four solar parks that have come into operation under this plan, now led by the Vice-Rector's Office ffor Infrastructures and Sustainability, are those installed on the roofs of the Sports and Central Services building; in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences; in the departmental buildings of the Faculty of Law and Economic Sciences and in the second phase of the Faculty of Health Sciences. Altogether, they add up to a photovoltaic production of 614.60 kilowatts and, in all cases, these photovoltaic installations are intended for self-consumption in order to improve the energy efficiency of the buildings and reduce consumption from the grid.

In addition, a new photovoltaic solar park is currently being built at the School of Technology and Experimental Sciences, an action that will be continued in 2023, when work is also planned to improve energy efficiency and install solar panels in the Doctoral School and Board of Trustees building.
