Spain’s high energy costs are putting pressure on renewables and opening up room for new auctions and PPA contracts

According to the AEGE Energy Barometer, electricity prices for large industries in Spain are 169% higher than in France and 36% higher than in Germany. This price difference underscores the urgent need to accelerate the integration of renewable energy and implement long-term contracting mechanisms to maintain competitiveness and reduce dependence on gas and ancillary services.
