The regulatory framework and call for proposals for a new aid program for industrial value chain projects linked to the energy transition are being made public.
The regulatory framework and call for proposals for a new aid program for industrial value chain projects linked to the energy transition are being made public.
The failure of Congress to ratify the decree has stalled essential structural measures for the development of energy storage in Spain, putting at risk over €2 billion in investments and 5 GW of planned capacity.
The company is developing self-consumption projects, battery storage systems and solar carports in Spain, Italy, Brazil and Mexico, focusing on comprehensive energy solutions for an increasingly competitive market.
Chema Zabala, Managing Director of Alantra Energy Transition and moderator of Panel 5 at FES Iberia 2025, stated that energy storage is already a mature technology, but delays persist due to a lack of clear regulatory signals. He highlighted the high structural costs of the system and called for a stable legal framework to support market growth.
“We cannot afford, as a country, for such a necessary and widely agreed-upon regulation to be halted due to interests unrelated to its content,” the association states.
The Maltese government has confirmed the receipt of three applications to develop a 300 MW floating wind farm, marking its first venture into the offshore energy market.
The saturation and rigidity of the electricity grid are hindering urban development. Measures are proposed to streamline access to the grid and promote cleaner, more liveable cities.
During FES Iberia 2025, Agustín de la Fuente Palomino, Director of Renewable Energy Business Development at Grupo Elecnor, stressed the need to accelerate project development through more agile processes, clear rules, and balanced cooperation between companies and institutions.
The decision by Spain’s Congress of Deputies has sparked a wave of criticism from all corners. Key measures for storage, self-consumption, and demand electrification are lost, while investments worth billions of euros are now stalled.
The Wind Energy Business Association (AEE), representing the Spanish wind energy sector, expresses its deep concern at the failure of the Congress of Deputies to approve Royal Decree-Law 7/2025, which contained key technical measures to strengthen the security of the electricity system, decisively advance the energy transition, and improve the competitiveness of our industry.
Current administrative milestones remain in place, creating a bottleneck in the integration of renewables into the grid. Without a demand boost, the risk of imbalances and zero and negative price hours in the system will increase. An opportunity to promote collective self-consumption and system flexibility is being missed. Investments in storage, self-consumption and electrical grids remain in limbo. APPA Renovables warns of the collapse that will result from the inadequacy of the milestones, as well as the impact of not boosting storage and demand.
Royal Decree 7/2025 was essential to boost storage deployment and strengthen shared self-consumption. The rejection of the reform has no technical or ideological basis, but rather responds more to political tactics and the constant need to win the narrative.
While this approach allows for swift progress, it raises concerns over reduced deliberative processes and mounting delays in meeting EU deadlines.
The project, located in Campania, will integrate high-efficiency solar energy generation with intensive agricultural activity, setting a new benchmark for dual-use land development in Europe’s renewable transition.
The CEO of Magnon Green Energy brings 25 years of experience in the energy and industrial sectors. During his first term at the helm of APPA Biomasa, construction should begin on more than 400 MW of capacity to meet the 2030 target of 1,409 MW.
The various projects along the Southern Axis have involved an investment of 35 million euros. Is a more sustainable alternative and equivalent to the previous Es Fornàs project, thus avoiding a double-circuit overhead line that crossed the island from east to west and the construction of a new outdoor substation in Sant Antoni.
Tomorrow, Congress will vote on the anti-blackout decree aimed at strengthening Spain’s electricity system. The regulation enjoys broad support from the renewable energy sector, but its approval hinges on a delicate political balance.
During FES Iberia 2025, Carlos Moro, Chief Growth Officer of Five Infinitum, stressed the urgent need to adapt Spain’s energy planning and regulatory processes to the exponential growth of data centres. He believes this industry will be key to consolidating energy demand and stabilising the renewable energy system.
During FES Iberia 2025, Galp’s Global Head of Growth, Fernando Cremades, outlined the company’s strategy to lead Spain’s energy transition. “If we do not accelerate demand, we risk halting the entire sector,” warns the executive.
In the joint letter, they urge MPs to support RDL 7/2025, highlighting its technical reforms to stabilise the grid, attract investment, and strengthen the legal certainty of projects in Spain.
MITECO opens up 3,681 MW across eight key grid nodes. The mechanism prioritises industrial decarbonisation, economic investment, and swift project execution.

Among the awardees, subsidiaries of global energy heavyweights such as Iberdrola, Dhamma Energy, Sunstone Power, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and Elecnor stand out. These companies will concentrate investments in solar photovoltaic (PV), onshore wind power and energy storage, with a presence across more than seven Mexican states. At the end of the article, a table provides details of each project, including capacity, location and expected commercial operation date.
The company showcased Elementa 3, a 6.25 MWh energy storage system per container designed to improve project economics and performance in Latin America. With 4 GWh already secured under contract, Trina Storage aims to double that figure over the next few years.
During his participation at Future Energy Summit (FES) Chile, Gonzalo Feito, Regional Director for the Andean region, the Caribbean and Mexico, stressed that technology providers must take responsibility for contributing to grid stability and work closely with regulatory authorities on the development of regulatory frameworks for hybrid energy storage systems.
