Spain must quadruple its annual wind power installations as the sector calls for clear rules and lower tax pressure

The Spanish Wind Energy Association (AEE) warns that more than 4,500 MW of onshore wind capacity must be installed each year until 2030 to reach the target of 59 GW. In 2024, only 1,186 MW were added. The sector is calling for regulatory certainty, fewer administrative barriers and a more balanced tax framework to accelerate deployment.

“We’re targeting 7x growth”: Hoymiles’ Sebastián González on the roadmap to 700 MWh of battery storage in Iberia by 2026

As storage gains ground and the urgency for energy autonomy intensifies, the COUNTRY MANAGER outlines his vision for a “hot” market moment: more incentives, less dependency, and a wide-open field for scaling up. At Hoymiles, the company is backing a clear formula to take the lead over competitors, based on a mature and stable supply chain, a focus on 10 to 30 MW projects, and the speed required to gain volume.

The FEDER programme achieved a specific cost of €64933/MWh for stand-alone storage systems, compared with the €111000/MWh estimated for MACSE in Italy. Although Italian projects have an average duration of seven hours, versus four hours under the Spanish scheme, “the Spanish approach appears to have been more efficient for the public administration,” said Raúl García, director of ASEALEN.

Spain approves new grid access rules for demand and BESS as REE plans capacity map for February 2026

The latest decision by Spain’s National Commission for Markets and Competition (CNMC) establishes a new regulatory framework that redefines the technical criteria used to assess grid-access applications for electricity consumption, covering both large industrial users and battery energy storage systems (BESS) connected to the power system. As part of the rollout, on 2 February the national transmission system operator, Red Eléctrica de España (REE), will launch a new digital tool.

Spain accelerates green hydrogen production with €126 million in its first national auction

Spain has selected two renewable hydrogen projects for a combined €126.4 million under its first national “auction-as-a-service” (AaaS) scheme, after both initiatives had been preselected by the European Commission in the second general auction of the European Hydrogen Bank but failed to obtain EU funding due to exhausted budgets. The Government is strengthening its commitment to renewable green hydrogen as a substitute for fossil energy and as a tool to cut CO₂ emissions in industry, heavy transport and other hard-to-abate sectors.
