The purpose of this article is to show the carbon reduction strategy for the integrated regeneration of Playa de Palma, Palma de Mallorca. The article will describe the strategy which has been established and the measures planned in order to reach the target of zero CO2 emissions for 2050, and will provide a description of an energy model based 100% on renewable energies. The strategies include not only technological measures aimed at energy efficiency and the integration of renewable energies in buildings and the urban environment, but also other measures designed to change energy consumption patterns. In this latter respect, in addition to citizen awareness programmes, energy demand management models based on intelligent electrical networks will be implemented. The viable implementation of the strategies requires the establishment of energy business models and models for the corporate structures set up around the Palma Beach energy agency.
