This measure is part of the ImpulsDipta Plan 2024-2027, a municipal cooperation initiative that, with this new contribution, raises its total budget to 177 million euros for the four-year period. The primary goal is to support local administrations facing generalized price increases.
“"We have anticipated, and we offer this direct and agile aid that directly benefits citizens. The Diputació thus maintains its willingness to act proactively, anticipating the needs of the territory and ensuring the proper functioning of local public services in Camp de Tarragona, Terres de l'Ebre, and Baix Penedès."
The additional funds, sourced from the 2025 budget surplus, will be distributed among all municipalities and decentralized municipal entities in the Tarragona demarcation. These resources can cover personnel expenses, energy supplies (electricity and gas), maintenance of municipal facilities, and financial expenses, as outlined in chapters 1, 2, and 3 of the budgets.
The ImpulsDipta Plan already included a specific program for financing current expenses. During 2024 and 2025, 16.5 million euros have already been allocated for this purpose, with an additional 20.7 million euros projected for 2026 and 2027. In total, the plan will mobilize over 52 million euros for municipal current expenses over four years, prioritizing smaller and less populated municipalities.
