Spain’s grid saturation threatens renewable energy and data center investments: What changes is the sector demanding?

With 83.4% of grid connection points operating at full capacity, Spain faces a bottleneck that is slowing renewable energy deployment and large-scale electricity consumption. Grid expert Abelardo Reinoso estimates that up to €60 billion in investments are currently stalled, while companies begin considering relocation to countries with better grid availability. He calls for a regulatory overhaul based on dynamic planning, flexible access and measures to curb speculation.
