The updated document commissioned by aelėc indicates that the Spanish electricity system was operating on 28 April with only 60% of the usual margin to absorb reactive power. In Andalusia, the available capacity was just 7.5% of its potential.
France will support three 500MW floating offshore wind farms with a €11bn scheme using CfDs, promoting 2030 targets, supply chain diversification, and safeguards against overcompensation to reduce reliance on Chinese components and accelerate the clean energy transition.
WindEurope warns that the maritime supply chain, particularly shipbuilding and port infrastructure, plays a critical role in Europe’s energy security. However, one of the most pressing challenges currently is the lack of timely investment in shipbuilding and port infrastructure.
In the last week of July, prices in most European electricity markets fell thanks to increased solar photovoltaic and wind energy production, as well as lower demand in several countries. Daily solar generation records for the month of August were broken in Spain, Italy, Portugal, and France. In the fuel and CO₂ markets, futures experienced volatility, closing with values close to those of the previous week.

The European Court of Justice has validated the Xunta de Galicia’s environmental assessment procedure and clarified doubts regarding public participation in renewable energy projects. The ruling could unlock investments worth over €3 billion in the region.
With 1.6 GW of generation and 3.3 GWh of storage, the BERD-backed plan will drive decarbonisation, grid stability, and gender equity across Central and Eastern Europe.
Headquartered in London with a 13 GW global portfolio, the new joint venture between bp and JERA will combine Eastern and Western capabilities to lead offshore wind development across Asia, Europe, and Japan.
The Wind Energy Business Association (AEE), representing the Spanish wind energy sector, highly welcomes the ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) announced today, which supports the legality of the procedures followed in Galicia to authorize wind energy projects. The wind energy sector urges that the necessary measures be adopted responsibly and diligently by the institutions to allow the stalled projects to resume their progress.
Promotes the incorporation of storage in existing renewable energy production facilities. Facilitates the development of industrial projects by establishing the expiration of access and connection permits after five years. Accelerates the implementation of new demands, such as charging points, by setting response deadlines for distribution companies
Vestas will supply 46 MW in turbines for the repowering of the Somozas wind farm in Galicia, in collaboration with Naturgy, reaffirming the region’s strategic role in renewables and the advancement of wind modernisation in Spain.
The company aims to become a key player in leading the global energy transition from Catalonia and Europe. The Department of Business and Labor, through Avançsa, has signed an agreement with the company, which is activated with a participatory loan of 550,000 euros.
WindEurope warns that slow grid development is stalling wind energy deployment. The association calls on the EU to align its 2028–2034 budget and the upcoming European Grids Package to boost investment, streamline permitting, and secure smarter grid access to meet rising electricity demand.
The PORT-EOLMAR program strengthens logistics capabilities and the value chain for the manufacturing and assembly of large-scale equipment. Actions must be linked to projects with investments that equal or exceed the aid, to provide solutions to the marine renewable energy value chain and strengthen national and European autonomy.
The transatlantic energy pact foresees imports of gas, oil and uranium worth USD 750 billion over three years. Experts criticise the measure as undermining Europe’s energy transition and logistically unfeasible.
It will include provisions included in Royal Decree-Law 7/2025 that can be enacted with a lower regulatory scope. The development of industrial projects will be facilitated by establishing the expiration of access and connection permits after five years.
During the fourth week of July, solar photovoltaic energy production decreased in the main European electricity markets, while wind energy production increased in many of them. Electricity demand fell in several key markets, leading to a widespread decline in electricity prices. Brent oil and gas futures also dropped, and CO₂ emission allowance prices showed slight fluctuations.
While the Portuguese government consolidates its progress in renewables with strong public investment and institutional coordination, Spain continues to search for pathways to implement definitive solutions.
