The initiative will allocate more than one million euros to promote projects that foster a fair energy transition.
Among the main topics that marked the third edition of the FERC was the need to boost renewable energy storage capacity in the archipelago. Representatives of the Canary Islands government have announced new calls for grants of up to €30 million to promote self-consumption.
VSC converters, advanced cooling, and algorithmic control are the main challenges Norvento addresses in power electronics, with digital innovation, modularity, and local production as the keys to scaling and competing globally.
The British ambassador to Spain, Alex Ellis, held initial meetings with Antonio Morales to discuss ties between the British and the island.
The European Commission approves several strategic projects to guarantee the supply of essential raw materials, including one for Spain.
Cape Verde has launched an international public tender to install photovoltaic systems in water wells and pumping stations, as part of an innovative debt conversion agreement with Portugal.
The raw data for demand shows a decrease of 2.1%, but it is strongly influenced by the comparison with a leap year; photovoltaic production is up (+10.4%) as well as thermal production (+21.3%); in 2024, electricity consumption in the services sector is expected to grow by +4%.
Portugal will reach 81.2% renewable generation by February 2025. Hugo Silva highlights that PPAs are driving solar investment, while the new Energy Communities law facilitates public access. Storage and grids are the next challenges.
In February 2025, 81.2% of Portugal’s electricity came from renewables, though generation fell by 5.1% due to lower wind production. Electricity prices rose by 77.6%, increasing reliance on imports. Emissions remained low, driven by strong hydropower generation.
Meetings in Brussels with EU Commission representatives, focusing on environmental targets, biofuels, and renewable growth.
Francesco Marghella, an analyst, warns that auctions under the FER X schemes do not differentiate agrivoltaics from photovoltaics, which could limit its initial deployment. Moreover, current financial models ignore its agronomic value, a key factor for profitability. With the goal of reaching 7 GW by 2030, can Italy overcome these obstacles and unlock the potential of this technology?
The ministerial meeting was marked by discussions on affordable energy prices, energy security in the European Union, and the situation in Ukraine. Spain also endorsed a 90% emissions reduction target by 2040 and obtained approval for a €700 million aid scheme for energy storage.
The energy sector celebrates the five pilot projects approved by MITECO, highlighting their potential to drive innovative business models. “It was a necessary step,” says Abelardo Reinoso, emphasizing the importance of experimenting without regulatory restrictions to transform the electricity grid.
With a new regulatory framework allocating 4,700 MW of connection capacity for storage projects, Greece aims to reduce renewable energy curtailment and ensure grid stability. However, the solar sector warns that at least 8 GW of storage will be needed to prevent significant financial losses.
Terna has presented its 2025-2034 Development Plan, which will allocate more than 23 billion euros.The plan aims to integrate renewable energy sources, improve electricity transmission capacity, and expand international interconnections. Among the key projects are the Tyrrhenian Link, the Adriatic Link, and the energy bridge between Italy and Tunisia, which are pillars of the country’s decarbonization and energy security.
The Italian government has authorized eight BESS projects that will strengthen the stability of the power grid. Companies such as Edison Next and GreenGo stand out in this initiative. The investment in storage aligns with the capacity market and the first MACSE auction, scheduled for September 30, with the goal of accelerating the energy transition.
A report analyzes possible scenarios with 20 GW of storage capacity in Spain, which could mitigate electricity market volatility but also reduce its own revenues.
On March 17, the new structure, which seeks to align the Spanish electricity system with European regulations, comes into effect. This represents a technical challenge for retailers, generators, and consumers with limited digital capabilities.
In the year to date, renewable production supplied 77% of consumption, divided between hydroelectric with 38%, wind with 28%, photovoltaic with 6% and biomass with 5%. Natural gas production supplied 13% of consumption, while the balance of trade with foreign countries supplied the remaining 10%.
The Spanish Government presents the First Action Plan for Mineral Raw Materials 2025-2029, a key project to strengthen independence in strategic minerals essential for the energy transition. The plan prioritizes recycling, exploration and sustainability, in a context of growing global competition for these resources.
