Mallorca renewables plans in 2027 Balearic climate push
Mallorca, in the Balearic Islands, could get its own plan showing where renewable energy and storage projects can go: on Tuesday, 27 October 2026, the islands’ parliament urged the regional government to approve a climate and energy transition plan in the first quarter of 2027. It wants the plan to use up-to-date data, measurable targets, enough funding and ways to correct course.
The demand is part of a motion put forward by Socialist MP Carles Bona. Left-wing parties and the conservative People’s Party backed parts of it, but not all of it.
Where new energy projects could go
The parliament wants the government to plan renewable energy and storage projects island by island. For Mallorca, that would mean setting out how much new power is needed each year, and how much land it would take, to meet the 2030 targets.
The motion points to rooftops, car parks, industrial estates, public buildings and land already altered by human activity as priority sites. It also calls for funding from the Balearic Islands’ own budgets, spread over several years from 2027, to help people and groups use energy they generate themselves. That would stop the support relying solely on European funds. The government has also been asked to consider what it can do about grant applications shelved because money ran out.
Heat and water are part of the plan
The parliament also wants a programme running over several years to protect public schools, health centres and social care facilities from extreme heat. It calls for specific protection for older people, children, people with existing health conditions, people facing financial hardship and workers exposed to extreme temperatures.
It wants climate change scenarios added to the water plan, along with targets to cut losses from water networks and restore underground water supplies. A public system would track climate policies. But other proposals failed to win support, including limits on carbon emissions by 2030 and a plan to use carrying capacity when making tourism, land-use and climate decisions.
