During the AEGE Energy Forum 2025, industry representatives proposed a new model of three-party contracts between the public sector, energy producers and electro‑intensive consumers — a formula aimed at reducing volatility and accelerating decarbonisation.

Industry representatives stress that the change sharpens price signals, reduces deviations, demands greater forecasting accuracy and, at the same time, opens up new opportunities for profitability, flexibility, storage and demand management.

The study will develop surveys and debates on aspects related to the energy transition, such as renewable deployment, electric mobility or self-consumption, among other issues. Its results will guide the design of new public policies to drive this transformation and take advantage of the economic and industrial benefits associated with the country’s renewable potential. It will have a total budget of 355,000 euros, of which 70% will be covered by the Institute, while the CIS will assume the remainder.

The group will invest €58 billion through to 2028, focusing on the UK and the US, and aims to increase its regulated asset base to €70 billion, while surpassing 60 GW of installed renewable capacity.

The director of e-Anell, Ramón Gallart Fernández, asserts that flexible connections represent a key opportunity to make use of unused grid capacity and attract new investment.
