Following 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.

In the last 15 days, MITECO approved 736 MW of renewable projects, including 668.7 MW of photovoltaic, 40 MW of wind, and 27.46 MW of battery storage. However, it rejected 523 MW of wind projects, mainly affecting projects by Capital Energy and Forestalia.

Carlos Martín Graña, COO of ENERJOIN, states that “the goal of the PNIEC is impossible” and increasing 90 TWh “would be a huge success,” which could slow down the deployment of renewables.

It would start operating in 2025 and would be the first public-private partnership in Spain. It will offer energy at reduced prices, with a 50% discount for residents near renewable energy projects. Experts question its viability in the competitive liberalized electricity market.

During this month of September, renewables generated 33% more than in the same period of the previous year, accounting for 53% of the monthly mix.
