January 2, 2025The Spanish electricity sector faces challenges in financing the necessary grids for the energy transition, according to AELEC’s president. The lack of clear definitions in fiscal policy for 2024 and a model that hinders quick decision-making by electricity companies threaten Spain’s competitiveness.
January 2, 2025The Vice President of AEPIBAL, Eugenio Domínguez, emphasises the importance of securing contracts of at least 10 years and defining clear criteria regarding emissions for the capacity market. The initiative aims to strengthen the competitiveness and viability of energy storage in comparison to conventional technologies.
January 2, 2025The capacity market will allow contracts of up to 15 years, linked to the useful life of assets. With flexibility to transfer rights and a design based on firmness coefficients and stress hours, batteries face new competitive challenges.
December 31, 2024The Spanish government launches tenders for the allocation of renewable capacity in the Narcea, La Pereda, and Meirama hubs. With a focus on just transition, these initiatives aim to revitalize areas affected by the closure of thermal power plants, generating over 1,500 MW of renewable power and promoting environmental and social sustainability.
December 31, 2024The company has received this prestigious recognition in 15 markets, including South Africa, Africa, Nigeria, Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Italy, the United Kingdom, India, Pakistan, Poland, the Netherlands, Australia, the United States, and Southeast Asia. This achievement highlights the company’s dedication to providing reliable and innovative energy solutions worldwide.
December 30, 2024The recent ministerial order opens a competitive process to allocate 354 MW of capacity at the Narcea hub, ensuring social, environmental, and technological criteria to revitalize one of the areas most affected by the closure of the thermal power plant.
December 27, 2024The Electrification Commission of ENTRA Aggregation and Flexibility has prepared a document that highlights the importance of electrification in sectors such as transportation, industry, and residential.
December 27, 2024Its final location is the result of an analysis process of the area to find the optimal site. The project’s launch will create 200 jobs during the construction of the plant and about ten for its maintenance throughout its operational life.
December 25, 2024In one year, Spain increased its renewable generation capacity by 19% in solar and 2.7% in wind, reaching a renewable share of 56% in the electricity mix. Regions such as Andalusia and Extremadura stand out in driving solar energy, while Castile and León leads in wind energy.
December 24, 2024It receives the Integrated Environmental Authorization from the Ministry of Ecological Transition, Industry, and Economic Development.

Secretary
Spanish Hydrogen Association (AeH2)
December 23, 2024With integrated projects and economies of scale, Spain consolidates its position in the development of renewable hydrogen. Miguel A. Peña from AeH2 highlights key initiatives and technologies such as alkaline electrolysis, which are essential for the global energy transition.
December 23, 2024Hàjar El Mansouri, regulation specialist at RIC Energy and a speaker at El Ateneo de Madrid, promotes the energy transition through education, collaboration, and consensus, highlighting the importance of transparency, tangible benefits, and legal certainty in the renewable energy sector.
December 23, 2024In 2024, Greece recorded 900 GWh of renewable energy curtailment, a growing issue in the country’s energy transition, according to Stelios Psomas, an energy and sustainability expert, in an interview with Energía Estratégica España. Solutions such as storage and grid strengthening are key to achieving the targets of the NECP (National Energy and Climate Plan).
December 23, 2024Panagiotis Papastamatiou, CEO of the Hellenic Wind Energy Association, stated that 2024 was not a favorable year for the sector. However, there are positive expectations for the coming year, with 1 GW under construction and a target of reaching 6.5 GW of installed capacity within a year and a half. He also pointed out that the main issue lies in delays in the licensing process and an “over-licensing of photovoltaics.”
December 23, 2024With three projects awarded in the first auction and strong interest in the second, Spain consolidates its role in renewable hydrogen, driven by exceptional resources and a key strategic position for the European energy transition.

December 20, 2024Chema Zabala from Alantra values the 10-year contract extension and warns that there is a need to define firmness coefficients, emission values, and bring forward the main auctions to maximize the design’s potential.
December 20, 2024With these new improvements, the system design is simplified thanks to integration, automation, and increased efficiency for developers and engineers.
December 20, 2024Electricity demand rises by 4% due to low temperatures. Gas combined cycles increase their activity by 91% to meet demand and compensate for low wind and nuclear production. They lead the mix and influence price-setting throughout the day. Forecast for the end of the month: below 100 €/MWh.
December 20, 2024Its production increases by almost 11% in a record year for two reasons: it registers the highest renewable production and its largest share since records began. Solar photovoltaic surpasses combined cycle and moves into third place in the mix for the first time, in a year once again led by wind energy, with 23%. Forecasts indicate that demand in Spain is growing by nearly 1.6%, and the country ends the year with a net exporter balance for the third consecutive year.
