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.

This is the company’s sixth green bond issue, which has been closed for a six-year term and a yield of 3.018%. The company is immersed in boosting its investments in electricity grids to meet new demands and continue consolidating the ecological transition in Spain. With this new issue, the corporation is moving closer to achieving its goal of securing all of its financing under sustainable criteria by 2030, a percentage that currently stands at around 70%.

Renewable energy sources grew the most: 6.2% in the primary energy matrix and 11.9% in electricity. MITECO’s official energy statistics include the country’s self-consumption capacity for the first time, which reached 8,256 MW by the end of 2024. The weight of natural gas and coal in the national energy mix has decreased, and for the third consecutive year there is an export-oriented electricity balance.

Minister Sara Aagesen defended in Parliament the electricity transmission plan with €13.59 billion, an attractive remuneration framework and measures to optimise the grid, amid rapid growth in renewables and electrification.
