The Wind Energy Business Association (AEE), representing the Spanish wind energy sector, expresses its deep concern at the failure of the Congress of Deputies to approve Royal Decree-Law 7/2025, which contained key technical measures to strengthen the security of the electricity system, decisively advance the energy transition, and improve the competitiveness of our industry.
Current administrative milestones remain in place, creating a bottleneck in the integration of renewables into the grid. Without a demand boost, the risk of imbalances and zero and negative price hours in the system will increase. An opportunity to promote collective self-consumption and system flexibility is being missed. Investments in storage, self-consumption and electrical grids remain in limbo. APPA Renovables warns of the collapse that will result from the inadequacy of the milestones, as well as the impact of not boosting storage and demand.

APPA Renovables advierte del colapso que provocará la no adecuación de los hitos, así como el impacto de no impulsar el almacenamiento y la demanda
