October 21, 2024HELAPCO, the Hellenic Association of Photovoltaic Companies, states that curtailments are expected to reach 1 TWh in 2024, representing 3.5% of total renewable energy production. They emphasize that between 7.5 GW and 8 GW of storage capacity is needed to address this issue. Additionally, they project surpassing the 2030 photovoltaic target of 13.5 GW and reaching 20 GW of installed capacity.
October 21, 2024With 483.2 MW signed in September 2024, primarily driven by corporates and a growing interest from the pharmaceutical industry, a 16% decrease in solar PPA prices and stability in wind contracts stand out.
October 21, 2024This system enables remote monitoring, management, and optimization of photovoltaic installations, with advanced security and automatic firmware updates.
October 21, 2024Following the inclusion of the project in the MAPs in April, Red Eléctrica initiated its processing and has since undertaken significant efforts, now enabling the imminent commencement of construction.
October 18, 2024The latest SotySolar report reveals that solar self-consumption faces economic, bureaucratic, and perception barriers. In an interview with *Energía Estratégica España*, Montserrat Lavilla stated that despite incentives and long-term savings, it is necessary to simplify processes and raise awareness.
October 18, 2024Next week, this regulation will be approved, benefiting local sectors such as wood and ceramics, while judicial challenges regarding wind power development continue.
October 17, 2024According to an analysis conducted by Energía Estratégica España, between September and the first weeks of October, 2,837.7 MW advanced in environmental processing from 34 projects. Of the total, 1,078.4 MW correspond to agrovoltaic energy and 1,005 MW to offshore wind energy, while the remainder is divided between onshore wind and photovoltaic energy.
October 17, 2024Iberdrola, Enel Green Power, and X-ELIO lead the largest renewable energy projects in Spain. Among the most notable are the Francisco Pizarro and Lorca Solar photovoltaic parks, and the Santuario wind farm, which will drive the new installed capacity over the next three years.
October 17, 2024It is a project consisting of five photovoltaic plants with a total capacity of 248 MWp, as well as an electricity transmission project in the Seville towns of Guillena, Burguillos, and Alcalá del Río.

October 15, 2024The most sought-after profiles in the renewable energy sector vary by region, mainly between engineers and sales professionals. Technical and commercial positions offer the most competitive salaries, ranging from €45,000 to €50,000 annually, with engineers earning over €50,000.
October 14, 2024Floating offshore wind faces challenges despite the recent drop in prices below €100/MWh in auctions. The key to its competitiveness lies in industrialization, standardization of floaters, and reliability, while Western OEMs deal with technological slowdowns.
October 14, 20243E is betting on photovoltaic projects, hybridization with wind, and standalone storage, driven by the recent construction permits in Spain. Additionally, the company plans to expand internationally, with particular interest in Latin America and new technologies such as green hydrogen, although the latter still requires technical and economic advancements.
October 14, 2024The General Director of UNEF, José Donoso, highlighted during the event’s closing that “our country spends around 60 billion euros a year on importing hydrocarbons. The year we achieve total decarbonization will be like having a Next Generation investment every year for our economy with our internal resources.”
October 11, 2024“These investments directly impact our expansion plan in the South Dock, as without the support that these funds would provide, the short-term development of this area for offshore wind would not be possible,” says Adolfo Noguero, Head of Expansion at the Castellón Port Authority, in an interview with Energía Estratégica Spain.
October 11, 2024The PPA market in Portugal has experienced strong growth, driven by the energy transition towards carbon neutrality. According to Hugo Silva from TreeEnergy, the solar sector is leading this development, with long-term contracts that ensure competitive prices and energy stability.
