Spain’s grid saturation threatens renewable energy and data center investments: What changes is the sector demanding?

With 83.4% of grid connection points operating at full capacity, Spain faces a bottleneck that is slowing renewable energy deployment and large-scale electricity consumption. Grid expert Abelardo Reinoso estimates that up to €60 billion in investments are currently stalled, while companies begin considering relocation to countries with better grid availability. He calls for a regulatory overhaul based on dynamic planning, flexible access and measures to curb speculation.

At the FES Colombia forum, María Fernanda Suárez, CEO of Banco Popular, stressed the urgent need to strengthen Colombia’s capacity to execute energy infrastructure projects.
